RED KING Medaka Japanese Rice Fish
Red King Medaka are one of the hobby's most striking Japanese Rice Fish varieties, known for their brilliant orange coloration despite the traditional "Red King" name. I keep the traditional variety name because it is widely recognized throughout the medaka hobby, but customers should expect vibrant orange fish rather than true red.
If you are after sparkle, this is the line to get. Red King carry the strongest metallic shine of the orange varieties I raise, and in direct sun they genuinely glitter from a top-down view, which is how they are traditionally enjoyed in a tub or pond.
Every fish is individually evaluated throughout development, and only those that meet my standards for health, body shape, vibrant orange coloration, and overall quality are offered for sale. Through careful selection and screening, I continually improve the line with each generation while preserving the characteristics that make Red King such a popular variety.
Every fish I ship is hand-picked and health-checked by me in North Carolina, conditioned before it leaves, and backed by my live arrival guarantee. Healthy fish settle in faster, whether they are headed for an aquarium, a patio tub, or an outdoor pond.
