Tennyo no Mai Medaka (Oryzias latipes) – Tank-Bred
type: Product
description: Species Overview The Tennyo no Mai Medaka (Oryzias latipes), also known as the Heavenly Maiden Dance Ricefish, is a striking long-finned Japanese Ricefish developed by combining the Matsui long-fin trait with a Miyuki base. The result brings together the reflective, metallic appearance associated with Miyuki Medaka and dramatically elongated finnage that gives mature Tennyo no Mai their characteristic flowing appearance.

Their combination of metallic coloration, flowing finnage, manageable adult size, and peaceful behavior makes Tennyo no Mai a particularly distinctive expression of Oryzias latipes. What We Love About This Fish Flowing Long-Fin Form: The Matsui long-fin trait gives mature Tennyo no Mai their signature extended finnage and graceful movement. Miyuki Metallic Sheen: Their Miyuki heritage contributes the bright silver to blue-white reflective appearance that makes these Medaka beautiful from above or from the side. Gets Better With Maturity: The characteristic finnage continues to develop as Tennyo no Mai grow, making this an especially rewarding variety to raise to adulthood. Peaceful and Social: Their small size and generally peaceful behavior make Tennyo no Mai wel…
