Can the speckling be bred out?

Since there are some lines that have less and other that have more... I would think yes, it can.

I dont think you're necessarily going to do it solely by breeding a clean animal to an arabesque. It's going to take generations of picking out the cleanest arabesque and breeding it to other clean animals to really develop a clean line.

I think its a great idea to work towards. I dont think they'd be "just finelines" at all. Finelines, from what I've seen, arent a very extreme phenotype (different looking morph) and arent nearly as consistant as arabesques.

If you make a really clean arabesque that produces consistantly I think it will be very desirable.
