Three Color Lame Medaka Ricefish
To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air.
The Three Colors Lame Medaka is a striking variety of Japanese ricefish known for its unique combination of white, orange, and black markings—beautifully enhanced with shimmering “lame” (sparkle) scales that catch the light with every movement. This eye-catching medaka is not only beautiful but also hardy and easy to care for, making it an ideal choice for both aquariums and outdoor ponds.
These fish are adult shrimp-safe, however, we recommend having sufficient plants or hiding spots for aquariums with both Three Colors Lame Medaka and freshwater shrimp.

The Three Color Lame Medaka are absolutely stunning. The orange and black markings with the shimmering scales make them stand out in any tank. They’re easy to maintain and don’t seem to stress the shrimp I have. I love the vibrant look they bring to my pond.

Beautiful fish with a unique color pattern. I added some floating plants to give them hiding spots, and it’s been a great setup. The fish are active and seem healthy after a few weeks.

I’ve had these medaka for over a month now and they’re still lively and colorful. The sparkle on their scales is amazing under natural light. I’m happy with the purchase and would recommend them to others.
