Beautiful fish. It has been really hard to find medaka where I live in Ontario. I currently have a mix of orange/white, but very few are true red cap. I have solid orange and solid white, but I've noticed the white has become more of a pink since I put them into my dark pond tubs. I recently was able to get 5 platinum, which are beautiful, but they haven't been producing many eggs. I have only 3 that are orange/black and black/white... they aren't producing eggs yet. These fish cost a fortune here. Upwards of $15 per fish plus tax and shipping. Can you share what it is like to buy medaka where you are? What options do you have available and how expensive are they? Thanks!
Almost anywhere outside of Japan, I suggest it's probably really hard to find medaka for sale. Very occasionally it's possible to find a private source on local social media but even then , prices for the cheaper (say, red/white) medaka are probably about US$7 and they have to be picked up at the source. Very limited range of types available but prices of those with lame, etc may easily be double or treble the cheaper type. Also more expensive for a male/female pair.
