Green lines with dots show a pure culture of Medakamo hakoo streaked onto an agar medium. Study co-author Emeritus Professor Tsuneyoshi Kuroiwa first discovered the algae when the water in his home goldfish tank turned green after he added medaka fish (Japanese rice fish), and he decided to look at samples under his home microscope. However, where the algae originated from - the water, fish or somewhere else - is still unknown.
