Ulysses Paradiso Medaka

Ulysses Paradiso (ユリシスパラディーゾ) Ulysses Paradiso is a newer branch of the Ulysses line, produced by crossing Ulysses with Himitsu Heiki. It keeps the dark blue base of the original but carries a much finer, denser lamé that runs the whole length of the back. The parent strain, Ulysses (ユリシス), was released by Mai Medaka (舞めだか) in 2021 and is known for blue lamé over an orange-and-black body with semi-transparent scales. Himitsu Heiki (ヒミツヘイキ), from Dōsan Medaka in Gifu, descends from Ramé-ō (ラメ王) × Bōkyaku no Tsubasa (忘却の翼) and was bred specifically to hold its lamé rather than lose it with age. Paradiso inherits that persistence. This is a top-view fish (上見). Seen from above, the lamé sits packed along the dorsal line and shifts between blue and silver as the light moves. Color deepens with age and in darker containers. A long-fin version (ヒレ長) is also in circulation.
