The Orochi Medaka is a legendary strain highly coveted for its deep, pitch-black, velvety coloration. Unlike standard black fish that fade or turn greyish under bright lights or over light sand, the Orochi has been selectively bred for intense, un-fading melanism—even their bellies and internal mouth linings are solid black. They offer a striking, silhouette-like contrast when swimming over vibrant light substrates or bright green carpets of dwarf hairgrass.
