Who We Are
Why are we different from other sellers?

Legal Importation: We legally import live Medaka (Japanese Rice Fish, also known as Oryzias latipes) into the United States, ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements. Our process includes multiple inspections and strict adherence to import regulations, guaranteeing the safety and legality of our fish. We do not support the illegal importation of medaka eggs from overseas. This is illegal and they often look different from the photos presented by sellers.


Rigorous Health Inspections: Our Medaka undergo thorough health inspections and quarantine procedures to ensure they are disease-free and healthy before reaching our customers. This commitment to quality ensures that you receive the healthiest fish possible.


Pure Breed Lines: We specialize in pedigree Medaka, focusing on the quality of our fish rather than quantity. We take great care in maintaining and nurturing the pedigree lines and their unique characteristics to ensure that each Medaka we offer is of the highest standard. Our dedication to quality means that you receive Medaka with lineage with exceptional traits.


Live Fish Only: To ensure the highest standards in promoting Japanese Medaka, we exclusively offer individuals that meet specific high-grade criteria and do not sell eggs. This approach guarantees that each fish we provide adheres to our rigorous quality standards and pedigree requirements.
