Overview

The breeder gallery describes a Green variety selected from the Bronze family for blended yellow, black and blue-Miyuki coloration. The gallery credits Masaharu Tarumi as creator credited for bronze-family color selection. The distinction between creator, house-line selector and older parent-stock developers remains important.

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

Known research gaps

  • The composite green appearance is a phenotype description rather than a confirmed named genotype.
  • Original-source breeder narratives cannot authenticate the actual fish sold under the label or establish Mendelian inheritance.
  • A complete first-sale timeline, actual mating and selected-generation logs, licensed photographs and independent secondary review are unavailable.
