Medaka breeder-documented selection lineEvidence by claimIndependent review ongoing

Savanna's catalog describes Saboten from Matsui Long Fin Ryokko × Ouka, selected for greenish hues and visible lame.

Overview

The program targets the combination of Ryokko-derived green color and exterior light with Ouka-influenced lame. The catalog is a first-party account, not independent genetic confirmation.

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

Breeder-reported lineage and selection

The dashed arrows map reported inputs, not independently authenticated parent pairs. Multi-stage inputs are shown together for readability; this is not a verified single-generation mating plan.

Dashed connectors show breeder-reported input or selection history; they do not prove actual parent pairs, alleles, or dominance. Parent fish IDs are not independently established.

Source: Savanna Vol.1, printed p.14. Dashed means breeder-reported; the original source alone does not prove inherited traits.

Known research gaps

  • The original date and breeding generation are not independently documented.
  • Do not infer all Saboten offspring have Matsui long fins.
  • No independent DNA-verified inheritance, controlled water-parameter optimum, graded phenotype guarantee or offspring ratio is established.
  • Third-party catalog photos are not licensed for republication in this entry.
