Why AMA Doesn't Allow Egg Sales

Jun 27, 2026 · AMA Admin

Selling live fish — not eggs — supports traceability, quality control, and the legacy of each strain.

Eggs are easy to mislabel and difficult to verify. Selling live fish allows better quality control and traceability, helping protect both the buyer and the strain's legacy. This isn't about gatekeeping — it's about accountability and best practices. Medaka are so prolific that a single pair quickly lets you experience the joys of raising fry, while keeping lineage clear and honest.
