Midnight Frill External Light × Emekin Medaka – ミナプ × エメキン

Sarah Lee

Minapu × Emekin (ミナプ × エメキン) A charming cross of elegance and shine Overview The Midnight Frill External Light × Emekin Medaka is a unique cross between two highly regarded strains: Minapu (ミナプ): short for Midnight Frill, known for its deep black body and flowing, frilled fins Emekin (エメキン): a golden, emerald-toned variety known for external light and wide-fin traits The resulting fish is affectionately called Minapu × Emekin, capturing characteristics from both parent lines. While I’m not a full-blown expert, I do feel confident in picking out quality specimens — and I have to say, this one stands out. Key Features Coloration: A mix of deep black tones with golden or emerald undertones, depending on the expression Fin Traits: Fin extensions influenced by both frill and wide-fin genes Shine: May carry hints of external light (体外光) or surrounding glow Viewing Style: Beautiful from both top-view and side-view, though personally, I raise them in flat tubs (フラベ), so I tend to value top-view appearance more Conclusion Whether you’re a casual hobbyist or a selective breeder, the Minapu × Emekin cross is a visually rewarding medaka. With elegance from Midnight Frill and shimmer from Emekin, this combination offers both uniqueness and charm — a great pick for anyone looking to enjoy variety and aesthetic beauty in their tank or pond.
