A medaka with gentle pale cream body color. Calm coloring that matches Japanese-style containers well.
Cream medaka is an improved variety with gentle, warm cream (milky white) body color that sets it apart from intensely colorful varieties. The yellow-tinged white cream color, evoking Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics, pairs particularly well with ceramic pots, biotopes, and lotus bowls. A popular choice for traditional Japanese-style garden medaka keeping. Hardy in 5–30°C, neutral to slightly alkaline water — suitable for both outdoor and indoor settings. Relatively high color fixation rate means less selection burden. Easy to breed with high juvenile survival rates. Peaceful and community-friendly. Beloved by enthusiasts who prefer calm, understated colors.
