Overview

A continuing F3 Emerald Fin × Sapphire cross selected with emphasis on dorsal exterior light. This account distinguishes original founder varieties, named selected variants, and unfinished breeder projects.

The breeder describes promising exterior light and lame combinations, as well as emerging dorsalfinless and Hikari-body offspring, but labels the project incomplete.First-person breeding/selection account; publication and sale chronology not independently completeJMU ↗
Mixed external shine/lame expression, sometimes dorsalfinless or Hikari form; selection is focused on improving exterior light.Observed or intended visual selection; not a genetic trait testJMU ↗

Evidence labels refer to documentary strength. They do not assert independently tested genetics.

Known research gaps

  • Fish-specific parent identifiers, stock provenance, and any complete breeding generation log are not independently verified.
  • DNA causation, segregation ratios, phenotype stability across breeders and first commercial sale year are unverified.
  • Third-party fish photos cannot be reused without creator or rights-holder permission.
