Breeder reports long-term Golden Medaka and lame selection preceding 2015 Golden Lame. Original breeding fish, source of additional lame stock, F-generation order and reported trait percentages lack independently verified pair-level evidence.

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

Known research gaps

  • Exact individually authenticated parent stock, all breeding generations and any stable genotype or inheritance ratio are unknown.
  • Historic year-group inclusion does not guarantee a breeder's actual first commercial sale year or present-day retail provenance.
  • Original fish photographs and source-owned images are not republished without explicit licensing.
