Overview

This is a named Sakade development based partly on an earlier Tarumi Yozakura parent name; creator, selector and source-line identities must remain distinct.

Known research gaps

  • Do not attribute this derivative to Tarumi as sole creator or equate all Yozakura color variants.
  • Parent sex, exact pedigree of sold stock and stable F-generation percentages remain undocumented.
  • Fish-specific genetic testing, validated inheritance percentages, exact water optima and universal grade thresholds have not been established from these cited histories.
  • Breeder-authenticated, licensed photos and individual parent provenance remain a separate editorial requirement.
