Medaka feeding

Medaka evidence reviewResearch under review

Scope: mandatory Medaka diet/feeding lane for draft PR #8. Manufacturer/distributor primary formulation evidence only. Zero strain-count effect. Does not overwrite Kyorin/Hikari primary records.

Manufacturer identity

Manufacturer: 日清丸紅飼料株式会社 (Nisshin Marubeni Feed Co., Ltd. / Marubeni Nisshin Feed)

Originally an aquaculture marine-larvae/fry feed line; widely retailed for ornamental Medaka and other small fishes. Intended aquaculture use is marine larvae/fry weaning and early rearing — not a Medaka-specific formulation claim by the manufacturer in the recovered distributor tables.

Guaranteed analysis (B-1 / B-2 class from current retail manufacturer-attributed labels)

Listed animal-side ingredients on current B-1/B-2 retail sheets include krill meal, fish meal, squid meal; cereals include wheat flour and potato starch/dextrin; plus refined fish oil, brewer’s yeast, calcium phosphate, gums, betaine, Paracoccus cell powder, calcium carbonate, and plant extracts.

Claim class: MANUFACTURER / AUTHORIZED-DISTRIBUTOR PRODUCT RECORD. Useful for particle-size matching and proximate composition. Does not prove Medaka-specific superiority, EPA/DHA adequacy for ornamental lines, or that Otohime outperforms Hikari/Kyorin or live foods. Growth/health marketing language on reseller pages remains seller claim unless controlled.
