Medaka Hyakka — Issue 03 | Black-Rim Origins

Original Japanese title: メダカ百華 第3号

Publisher: Pisces Publishers (ピーシーズ)

Format: Original Aquapedia English reading guide — source metadata and highlights, NOT a full translation.

English highlights: Originally published in July 2016, this issue shows early forms of amber and black lamé Miyuki, different Yang Guifei expressions, and early black-rim medaka including Kurobachi, Beniazami, and Otohime. The publisher notes that these help explain the later development of familiar black-rim lines such as Goshiki.

Aquapedia research lens: Separate historical photographs and published lineage statements from later claims about parentage. 'Black rim' describes dark-edged pigment expression rather than a universal single genetic pedigree. Keep the original strain names alongside romanization.

Source status: Original English interpretation of the publisher's public listing; no reproduction of the paid pages.
