Shusha Medaka

Shusha medaka is an improved variety characterized by vivid vermilion body color. 'Shusha' refers to cinnabar, a natural vermilion pigment derived from mercury sulfide, and the variety bears a beautifully deep, settled vermilion true to its name. Similar in body color to Youkihi, but Shusha tends toward stronger orange-to-vermilion tones rather than red. White containers best showcase the vermilion vividness, with top-view observation highlighting the color contrast. Regular feeding of carotenoid-rich color-enhancing food maintains and strengthens coloration. Outdoor sunlight deepens body color further. Hardy in 5–30°C, neutral to slightly alkaline water. Easy to breed, with selective pairing of the most vividly colored individuals maintaining vermilion lineages. Peaceful and community-friendly.
