Daresay you've figured it out, but hey, maybe someone else will want to know (I've got PC though).

KEEP SILKY and SPINED!
They cannot be bred, except as you say, with themselves. (Silky breeds, but requires one parent to be a silky... which defeats the purpose!)

Uncommon and Rare Fish do NOT seem to hatch naturally with these fins, you will need to crossbreed genuses to get those.

There are a couple of other species that are difficult to obtain as well. This is more complicated; several of them will pop up in RARE fish, so

you can reverse engineer your crossbreeding for genuses
the others only have a couple of crossing choices.

The main few are: Bluetip, Greenfin, Hooked, and Peachy. Bluetips are REALLY useful. Basically these four CAN be difficult to get - keep a greenfin and a peachy to go with silky and spined to get bluetip and hooked (there are a couple of other combos to get those, but that's easiest EXCEPT with one of the magic fish).

I've got a complete spreadsheet but I don't know how to share it.

Can't remember the genuses offhand, but I don't think they're as difficult, just keep going...
