Overview
Nakano reports crossing Kirameki-derived red-white lame with a dark tricolor-lame exterior-light-stock female. The gallery credits Nakano Medaka Farm as developer of house derivative; upstream kirameki founder unconfirmed. The distinction between creator, house-line selector and older parent-stock developers remains important.
Claim-by-claim evidence
| Research finding | Evidence class | Direct references |
|---|---|---|
| Breeder credit: Nakano Medaka Farm, described as developer of house derivative; upstream kirameki founder unconfirmed. | Breeder-submitted first-party report; independent corroboration pending | G1 ↗ |
| Reported selection inputs or ancestry: Kirameki-labelled red-white Lame × black-heavy tricolor lame exterior-light family female (without exterior light). | Breeder-described genealogy; not a molecular pedigree | G1 ↗ |
| Reported appearance or target expression: Red-white-black appearance with lame, reported F3 selected family. | Breeder phenotype description; not a standardized diagnostic test | G1 ↗ |
| F3 generation recorded by breeder; the calendar launch year is unknown. | Date scope: gallery or cited magazine context only | G1 ↗ |
Evidence labels refer to documentary strength. They do not assert independently tested genetics.
Known research gaps
- The label Kirameki does not prove Nakano sourced the precise Tarumi house line without original stock receipts.
- 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.
