A gorgeous medaka with five colors: red, white, black, blue, yellow. Multicolor like koi in water bowls.
Five-color medaka is a luxurious improved variety with a complex mix of red, white, black, blue, and yellow body colors. Named in reference to Goshiki koi (five-color Nishikigoi), with multiple colors intricately mixed in patterns that differ per individual. Fixation rate for multicolor is low — mass breeding and rigorous selection are needed for ideal color distribution. White containers with top-view observation best reveal and confirm the multicolor patterns. Carotenoid-containing food helps maintain red color components. Hardy in 5–30°C, around-neutral water. Selecting individuals with the most diverse and vividly expressed colors improves quality. One of the best varieties for top-view water bowl appreciation.
