Medaka Strain – Morpho Kikyou

The Morpho Kikyou Medaka (Japanese name: モルフォ桔梗メダカ) is a brilliant ornamental strain named after the iridescent Morpho butterfly and the graceful bellflower (“kikyou”) of Japanese summer. This medaka is known for its vivid blue body and striking external shine (体外光), which reflects beautifully under natural light.

Its refined silhouette and glowing back shine make it an exceptional choice for both top-view and side-view aquariums. Morpho Kikyou is prized for its high fixation rate and stable color expression, making it a preferred line for breeders and collectors alike.
