Overview
Shiotsuki reports selecting Hikari-bodied Shiro Kujyaku following Headlight Miyuki × Zen and a Dragon Blue cross. The gallery credits Kazuki Shiotsuki as creator credited in breeder-submitted gallery. 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: Kazuki Shiotsuki, described as creator credited in breeder-submitted gallery. | Breeder-submitted first-party report; independent corroboration pending | G1 ↗ |
| Reported selection inputs or ancestry: Headlight Miyuki × Zen, F2 longfin observed; crossed with Dragon Blue. | Breeder-described genealogy; not a molecular pedigree | G1 ↗ |
| Reported appearance or target expression: Longfin expression in reported F2 source; house name reserved for Hikari body-form selection. | Breeder phenotype description; not a standardized diagnostic test | G1 ↗ |
| No independently dated original announcement or release year is provided. | 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
- F2 refers to a reported selection generation, not to genetic fixation or a universal phenotype ratio.
- 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.
