Overview

A white transparent-scale forward-looking eye Medaka documented in the 2007 variety chronology. The special-eye pattern is characterized by eyeballs tilted toward the front, visibly changing its face when observed head-on. Creator-versus-discoverer status is source-scoped.

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

Known research gaps

  • Avoid conflating forward-looking eyes with small-eye, pop-eye or medical eye disorders.
  • Cited first-generation and selected-parent statements do not prove DNA genotype, inheritance rate or present-day breeder-stock identity.
  • No third-party breeder/catalogue image is reproduced; photo rights and original genetic records require independent review.
