Peace Medaka (ピースメダカ)

A shimmering wish for peace, born from beauty

Overview

The Peace Medaka (ピースメダカ) is a uniquely beautiful ornamental strain developed by Muchuu Medaka (夢中メダカ). This variety was named with heartfelt intention — a wish for peace, not only in the medaka world but across the globe.

Origin and Lineage

This medaka was created by crossing two highly popular strains:

• Golden Lamé Medaka (黄金ラメメダカ)
• Sapphire Medaka (サファイアメダカ)

The result is a hybrid that inherits both dazzling sparkle and elegant coloration.

Key Features

• Body Shape: Hikari-type body (光体型)
• Head Color: Blue-tinted head
• Scales: Glittering lamé (iridescent sparkle) throughout
• View Appeal: Beautiful from both top view and side view — making it a great fit for both ponds and aquariums

This fish glows with soft contrast and subtle radiance, especially when seen under natural light.

Meaning Behind the Name

The name “Peace” was chosen by Mr. Sakaué (坂上社長), the head of Muchuu Medaka. His intention was a heartfelt wish that conflicts would disappear — from disputes in the medaka breeding world to broader global conflicts such as the war between Russia and Ukraine. The name expresses his hope for a more peaceful future, symbolized through this peaceful-looking medaka.

Personal Impression

One breeder who saw the Peace Medaka in person commented:

“It’s truly beautiful. There’s something unique and calming about it. The color doesn’t just sparkle — it gently shines.”

Conclusion

Peace Medaka is more than just a fish — it’s a quiet message of harmony, wrapped in beauty. With its elegant lamé scales, hikari body, and peaceful presence, it stands out as both a visual treasure and a symbolic one. A perfect choice for collectors who want something meaningful, rare, and radiant.
