Free Medaka for Classrooms

We believe medaka are a fantastic, kid-friendly way to learn biology. For elementary and K–12 classrooms, we provide medaka at no fish cost.

  • Free: the fish (up to 10 fish per shipment)
  • You cover: shipping only (no fish price charged)
  • Eligible: accredited schools, homeschool co-ops, after-school/STEM programs
  • Season: available only from June through October (warm season)

We prioritize hardy, classroom-appropriate fish and include a simple care guide. Availability depends on stock and may cause delays.

For universities, public aquariums, and research institutions, we can provide eggs, fry, or juveniles depending on the project and approvals.

Please include:

  • Institution/Department and contact
  • Requested material (eggs / fry / juveniles) & quantities
  • Intended use (education, outreach, or research summary)
  • Timeline and receiving details

Policy: We do not sell eggs to the general public. Institutional egg/fry requests are reviewed case-by-case with proper approvals.
