Overview

A red-and-white transparent-scale Sarasa pattern described as a selection derived from vermilion transparent-scale Nishiki. The original creator is not identified in this historical catalog; do not infer one. The 2012 historical variety group is a documentary context, not proof of the first sale.

Known research gaps

  • Precise commercial introduction dates, actual founder specimen IDs and complete generation-by-generation records are not fully documented in this catalog.
  • The named phenotype or historical breeding description is not a DNA-verified pedigree or a guaranteed inheritance ratio.
  • Current breeder-authenticated stock, precise strain-specific water parameters and photograph licensing remain unconfirmed.
