Wikipedia definition
2. Oryzias latipes​For the anime, see Medaka Box. Oryzias latipes, also known as Medaka and Japanese killifish, is a member of genus Oryzias, the only genus in the subfamily Oryziinae. This rather small (2-4 cm long) native of Southeast Asia is a common denizen of rice paddies in coastal Asia. It became popular as an aquarium fish because of its hardiness and pleasant coloration: its coloration varies from brown or yellow-gold in the wild to white, creamy yellow, or orange in aquarium-bred individuals.
