Medaka breeder-documented selection lineEvidence by claimIndependent review ongoing

Savanna describes Sunshine as a Miyazakura/Himitsu Heiki-derived line further crossed with Reiwa Bōkyaku no Tsubasa.

Overview

The breeder emphasizes guanine and reflective lame across the head, using a house expression described as metal lame. The catalog is a first-party account, not independent genetic confirmation.

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.13. Dashed means breeder-reported; the original source alone does not prove inherited traits.

Known research gaps

  • The original release date and actual parent fish identities are not supplied.
  • No quantitative inheritance or fixed expression rate was independently demonstrated.
  • 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.
