Greetings SFAS Aquarists,
For the Month of March, We are having Jackson giving us a crash course on how to get started with Medaka.

About the Speaker:
Jackson A. has been selectively line-breeding Japanese medaka since 2019, focusing on traditional methods, strict culling, and multi-generational refinement. His work prioritizes coloration, body conformation, and fin structure to produce enduring, high-quality lines.
In 2021, he founded the San Francisco Bay Area Medaka Society—the first organized medaka club in the United States—creating a space for serious hobbyists and breeders to connect and advance the craft.
In 2024, he revitalized a former Southern California group into the California Medaka Society, expanding it into a statewide network dedicated to education, collaboration, and higher breeding standards.
Through Medaka Lair, Jackson develops original strains while incorporating high-grade bloodlines from respected Japanese breeders. He also handcrafts traditional Japanese-style medaka nets under his Sakura Tamo line, honoring heritage through craftsmanship.

For Jackson, medaka represent patience, discipline, and the quiet peace found in building something meant to last across generations.
