Rêve Medaka – レーヴメダカ Where elegance takes flight in a dream of flowing fins and shimmering light Physical CharacteristicsThe Rêve Medaka is a breathtaking ornamental strain developed to capture the ethereal beauty of extended fins and glowing iridescence. With its name meaning “dream” in French, this variety lives up to its name through its soft, flowing appearance and vibrant coloration. Fin Structure: Exceptionally elongated fins due to the Hirehikari (fin light) trait, especially in the caudal (tail) fin Tail Fin (Caudal): Often exhibits a fringed “fusahire” look, adding delicate movement and texture Body Type: Displays the Morpho expression—an iridescent blue shine that enhances its visual allure Overall Impression: A striking medaka that combines grace and light in motion, perfect for collectors who appreciate longfin beauty without the bulk of Real Longfin types Unlike the more common longfin medaka such as Real Longfin or Grand Blue, the Rêve Medaka offers a unique silhouette and motion in water, appearing almost like a dream drifting by. Origin and Development Year of Development: 2021 Breeder (作出者): Takuya Tanaka (田中 拓也), of Azuma Medaka (東めだか) The Rêve Medaka was developed by carefully crossing blue-bodied medaka with longfin characteristics and the Morpho expression. The result was a stunning combination of: Blue coloration with external shine Hirehikari trait, which induces extended fin rays Fusahire (fringed fin) expressions in some individuals Balanced movement and visual softness, even in active swimming Each generation was selected to emphasize the elegance of the fins while preserving the shimmering beauty of the Morpho gene, creating a truly dream-like medaka. ConclusionThe Rêve Medaka is a gem born from vision and precision. Its name captures what it represents—a dreamlike expression of beauty, movement, and light. With its airy fin structure and glowing blue tone, this medaka will captivate both beginner and seasoned collectors looking for something serene yet extraordinary. Source / 出典: めだかの館ブログ – レーヴとは
