My name is Sarah, and I specialize in raising Japanese medaka right here in North Carolina. If you've found your way to this website, chances are you share a passion for medaka, and I’m excited to welcome you. At SNR Medaka USA, we take pride in offering one of the largest selections of medaka varieties in the United States. The word "medaka" comes from the Japanese words "me" (eye) and "taka" (high), meaning "eyes looking up"—a perfect description of their elegance when viewed from above. Unlike some sellers who illegally import medaka eggs or engage in smuggling, we strictly adhere to legal importation processes. Medaka eggs are living organisms, and importing them requires proper permits and extensive documentation. That’s why we source directly from renowned Japanese breeders, ensuring authenticity, quality, and high fixation rates. When you purchase from us, you can do so with absolute confidence, knowing that our medaka come from ethical, trusted sources. Thank you for joining us on this journey to bring healthy, high-quality medaka to enthusiasts across the United States! A Few Important Things to Share
At SNR Medaka USA, we deeply respect the authenticity and traditional traits of each medaka strain as defined by their original breeders. While all medaka deserve proper care, experienced fish keepers understand the importance of maintaining high-quality standards. To uphold the integrity of our medaka, we carefully cull individuals that do not meet our strict criteria. Medaka that do not fully qualify for specific lineage traits may be offered as Mixed Sets or Lame (Rame) Sets, but rest assured—every fish we sell is healthy. Pricing & Discounts
We kindly ask that you do not negotiate prices. Our pricing reflects the quality, time, and dedication that goes into raising these fish. If we ever have an excess stock of a particular variety, we will naturally offer sales or discounts. However, requesting a discount upfront can be discouraging, as we take great pride in our work and the care we provide to each fish. Need Assistance? If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly. I personally manage this website, and if you leave a message through email (our email address is in Details page), I will respond as soon as possible. I hope you stay healthy and continue to enjoy your medaka journey! Thank you!
