Super Lamé Medaka – スーパーラメメダカ

Two expressions, one brilliant legacy—where silver and gold shimmer in harmony

Physical Characteristics
The Super Lamé Medaka is an exceptional improved medaka variety, celebrated for its intense lamé coverage across the entire body. Unlike conventional lamé strains, this variety displays sparkling lamé from head to tail, creating a truly “super” brilliance under light.

Key features include:

• High-density lamé (ラメ): A fine glittering layer that reflects brilliantly under sunlight or aquarium lighting
• Standard body type: Versatile for both top-view bowls and side-view aquariums
• Two expression types within the same strain:
  • Silver Type: Inherits the cool, silvery glow characteristic of Rōga (ロウガ / 狼牙) Medaka
  • Gold Type: Reflects the warm shimmer of Champagne Gold Medaka
• These two types appear randomly within the same breeding line, offering both visual variety and consistency
• Strong fixation rate: Offspring tend to maintain high lamé quality and balanced expression

This dual-expression feature—silver and gold in a single strain—adds excitement to every spawn and offers hobbyists a unique blend of beauty and genetic stability.

Origin and Development
Breeder: Mr. Nagatsuma (長妻氏) of Jōsō Iyashi no Medaka (常総癒しのメダカ), Japan
Breeding Objective:
To combine two powerful traits—Rōga’s silver lamé brilliance and Champagne Gold’s golden radiance—into a single strain with consistent expression and high aesthetic value.

Rather than simply a crossbreed, the Super Lamé Medaka is a stabilized line where both gold and silver types coexist. This makes it not only visually striking but also exciting and enjoyable to breed.

Conclusion
The Super Lamé Medaka stands as a dazzling representative of modern medaka breeding—where two signature expressions shine through one line. Whether you’re drawn to the sleek, silvery appeal of Rōga-type individuals or the radiant glow of golden Champagne traits, this medaka provides a balanced, glittering display and reliable breeding results. It’s a perfect choice for those who value both variety and visual brilliance in their collection.
