Dorsalfinless Blue Miyuki / Ryusei

青幹之背ビレ無し / 流星

Historical Medaka research entryEvidence by claimIndependent review ongoing

Nakazato's 2013 Ryusei selection emphasizes dorsalfinless Blue Miyuki, allowing uninterrupted dorsal exterior-light expression.

Overview

The dorsal fin interrupts the reflective dorsal strip on a conventional Miyuki. The recorded dorsalfinless selected body form permits a more continuous visible line. Historical creator/source attribution: Yoshinori Nakazato / 中里良則.

Known research gaps

  • Dorsalfinless is a morphology trait, not a proof of a single source allele here.
  • Do not merge original Ryusei with every modern independently crossed dorsalfinless Miyuki descendant.
  • DNA-verified ancestry, independent inheritance ratios and authenticated present-day stock provenance require further source review.
  • No third-party photographs are rehosted without documented permission.
