Picture gene & lineage tree
Visual pedigree of breeder-reported inputs, where available. Dashed arrows represent documentary claims or selection history, not DNA-tested genes.
This strain's direct parent lines are not established by the reviewed sources. No breeding cross, genotype or inheritance pattern is implied. Source: Sources remain under review; ancestry connections will appear only with cited evidence.

Overview
The breeder's June 2022 article records the chronology of a single broader breeding program and distinct in-house line codes. Documented developer/creator role: JOURAKUAN / 静楽庵.
Claim-by-claim evidence
| Research finding | Evidence class | Direct references |
|---|---|---|
| The breeder says sales of the exterior-light expression began in spring 2018 | First-person dated sales statement | J03 ↗ |
| The documented selection goal includes balancing red/black/white, lame, and exterior-light effects | First-party selection goals | J03 ↗ |
| WI-01 (2019) and WI-03 (2021) are later documented selected stock codes within this program | Trade-line development, not two additional founder strains | J03 ↗ |
| WI-03 was said to show approximately 60–70 percent desirable expression, measured by the breeder; no independent trial is given | Explicitly non-independent numeric claim | J03 ↗ |
Evidence labels refer to documentary strength. They do not assert independently tested genetics.
Known research gaps
- Do not treat breeder-reported expression percentages as a guarantee for buyers or genetics proof.
- Historical 2018 first sale applies to the exterior-light expression, not all tricolor-lame fish.
- DNA-confirmed ancestry, Mendelian segregation, complete parent-pair registers and strain-specific water requirements are not established.
- Images from magazine, breeder sites and shop listings are not republished without verified reuse permission.
