You are right in the fact that we cannot say for sure what a bloodred belly will look like, until a bloodred motley (what we believe to be a bloodred motley) is breed to a bloodred to prove it is a bloodred.



Belly this belly that!lol I think we are all forgetting about an important trait of the bloods, the head. I might be mistaken, but any bloodred morphs (ie bloodred ghost or bloodred anery A or B) have the missing (for lack of a better word) head pattern and color. All the ones I have seen are gray to some extent or another.



The motley gene is a pattern and from what I have seen does not affect color. Thus, ignoring the belly (which is odviously up for debate) a bloodred motley should look bloodred in color with a motely pattern.



IMHO
