You can start at http://biol1.bio.nagoya-u.ac.jp:8000 The Medakafish Homepage.
In the ecology section there are some references about geographical variations
and genetic diversity in wild and captive populations.

Medakas aren't killifish any more, they are in their own family Oryziatinae (?)
and end up in a different order, too.

Check out the SPACEMEDAKA home page, too.
