PLATINUM RICE FISH (MEDAKA) — SHED‑RAISED • TRUE LINE • TRUE SHINE

 

Boutique. Metallic. Ridiculously clean.

 

Your Platinum Rice Fish from Uncle Joe’s Fish Shed aren’t imports, rescues, or mystery‑lineage gambles — they’re Florida‑bred, Florida‑conditioned, and Florida‑proven, raised right here in the Shed from reliable, stable Medaka lines that throw consistent color, strong bodies, and that signature platinum flash.

 

🔥 What Makes Shed Platinum Medaka Elite

 

  • True Medaka lineage — no hybrids, no questionable crosses

  • Hardy, confident swimmers raised in real Florida water

  • Metallic platinum sheen that hits like chrome under good lighting

  • Peaceful, active mid‑top behavior perfect for planted tanks

  • Reliable egg carriers with predictable spawning habits

 

 

These aren’t “silver-ish” fish. These are mirror-grade platinum, the kind that makes people stop scrolling and ask what tank light you’re running.

 

🌱 Tank Vibes

 

Platinum Medaka thrive in:

  • Planted tanks

  • Gentle flow

  • Open swimming lanes

  • Hard, alkaline water (they LOVE Florida parameters)

 

Keep them in groups and they’ll give you that smooth, synchronized shimmer that looks like a tiny school of liquid metal.
