Amel Motley or Fire Motley ???

In 2007 I bred a butter motley male to a blood het amel female. I made a present to a friend of mine and gave him 1,0 amel het caramel blood motley and 0.1 normal het amel caramel blood motley. This season he bred them and hatched one amel motley/fire motley... we don't know exactly.

My question is, do amel motleys sometimes have some creeping red on their belly? Or for all of you who hatched something like that, do amel motleys het blood show creeping red on their belly?

here are the pictures of the animal

If anybody can say something which could help... please do it :bowdown:

fire motley

Looks like a fire motley to me, too.

i have nothing against,if my little boy a fire motley

Yeah, that is a fire corn!
The "creeping red" is the diffused trait being expressed.

thanks for your estimation.

maybe anyone who've already bred fire striped or fire motley can say anything??

I'd also say a Fire Motley. Beautiful one. Congrats!!!
