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

Known research gaps

  • Do not merge this Tarumi house name with Oba's earlier fish also named 煌.
  • Exact backcross generations and stable genotype are not documented.
  • Fish-specific genetic testing, validated inheritance percentages, exact water optima and universal grade thresholds have not been established from these cited histories.
  • Breeder-authenticated, licensed photos and individual parent provenance remain a separate editorial requirement.
