Original English reading guide • Public and free to read
Original Japanese title: メダカ百華 第4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: The publisher's 2017 editorial preview foregrounds non-transparent-scale tricolor medaka. It discusses Manyou, Hikaru Special, Sekito Nishiki, Akebono, Unshu Sanshoku, and Heiwa Nishiki, along with their respective breeders or keepers. This makes the issue valuable for distinguishing related-looking red, white, and black expressions.
Breeder research leads: The editorial credits Shimada for Manyou, describes Hikaru Special's breeder Kiyohara, discusses Masaharu Tarumi's Sekito Nishiki crosses, and identifies Kodera with Akebono. Each claim needs the full article context before being promoted to an authoritative lineage tree.
Source status: Publisher's editorial preview, not a complete issue translation. This source is a preview article, not the purchased e-book itself.
