Provenance disposition
プレアデス is treated as a real, source-backed named breeder line, not a seller SKU, grade, sex, or size label.
Creator attribution is currently corroboratedsecondary: breeder-owned sources establish continuing ownership/release of the プレアデス series, organizer evidence maps 児玉知晃 = ヒトミダめだか, JMA independently ties 児玉 to the named show line, and specialist publication evidence says he made the line. Do not upgrade this to breederprimarycreator until an explicit breeder-owned creation statement or launch archive is recovered.
Lineage boundary
Secondary market/research commentary reports the origin as a self-bred Cloud Gray/Diamond wide-fin line crossed with a self-bred Emekin RLF line, followed by Midnight Frill Shikkoku-type material. Wording varies across secondary reports (クラウドグレーダイヤWF vs クラウドグレーワイドフィン), so Aquapedia must store this as secondaryreportedlineage and preserve the wording conflict rather than normalize a pedigree prematurely. [P7]
The breeder-owned shop confirms that プレアデス itself is real-long-fin and distinguishes derivative ZERO normal-body variants; derivative series names are not automatically separate creator-verified strains without their own release audit. [P2]
