日本観賞魚

...or the Japanese Rice Fish (Medaka) have been popular aquarium fish for many years, since the 17th century in Japan. They are 'amphidromous' meaning they are fish that move between fresh and salt water during some part of their life cycle. They are naturally found in Japan, Korea, China and Vietnam where they inhabit slow moving waters. They have also been introduced in Iran and Turkmenistan. The master of aquarium design, Takeshi Amano features them in his beautifully landscaped aquaristic creations because of their cream color, iridescent blue-green flecks and beautiful large almost luminescent eyes. They balance the 'green' of the well-manicured aquatic plants, lending a cool and calm feeling.
