Picture gene & lineage tree
Visual pedigree of breeder-reported inputs, where available. Dashed arrows represent documentary claims or selection history, not DNA-tested genes.

Overview
Later reflective guanine enhancement appears in a separate developer's selection history. The original named line and later selected version should not have their creator credits merged. Documented developer/creator role: Toshihiro Wada / 和田敏拓.
Claim-by-claim evidence
| Research finding | Evidence class | Direct references |
|---|---|---|
| The original 2012 historic catalog credits Blue Lame Miyuki/Seiga to Toshihiro Wada | Historical creator attribution | W01 ↗ |
| White Lame Miyuki × Blue Miyuki is the breeder-reported founding cross | Source-described pedigree | W01 ↗ |
| The source describes blue-white lame, exterior light and fin shine, with some offspring showing pink/gold points | Catalog phenotype observations | W01 ↗ |
| A 2018 specialist history credits Yoshinori Nakazato with subsequent stronger guanine enhancement of Seiga descendants | Separate selector/developer contribution | W02 ↗ |
Evidence labels refer to documentary strength. They do not assert independently tested genetics.
Recorded lineage inputs
White Lame Miyuki / Blue Miyuki
These are historical breeder-reported founder inputs or longer selection stages, not individually sequenced parents. Review the source W01 for its original scope and missing generations.
Known research gaps
- Do not overwrite Wada's named founding identity with the later Nakazato-refined line.
- Exact inception year beyond year-group and authentic stock genetics need primary breeding logs.
- DNA-confirmed ancestry, Mendelian segregation, complete parent-pair registers and strain-specific water requirements are not established.
- Images from magazine, breeder sites and shop listings are not republished without verified reuse permission.
