very cool!
i like those random blotches! funny how some of the "appear" early on some individuals, while others "appear" later in maturity...i've had a few develop random black blotches, others develop orange/reddish marks similar to your pics...in my opinion, i think selective breeding (very long term) can reproduce such physical characteristics in some percentage of the offspring. i mean, weren't the first "tangerines" just high yellow individuals with "orangish blotches" on the base of their tail? it was only through generations of selective breeding that the orange coloration began to spread to the rest of the body/head. good luck this year and keep posting pics!
