From what I recall from Steves article about arabesques, it wasn't selective breeding. He mentioned he had tried to selectively breed animals with connecting patterns in the past, but it never seemed to carry over to the babies with any consistency. The arabesques I seem to recall he said were produced from an older pair of colombians that had never bred before. I could re-read the article to be sure that was the story, but I think that's what it was. Hope that helps. Take care
