Hi I cross a normal hondurensis x tangerine. And this are the two tipes of color that appear. The fist one is a tangerine? The other is normal? Tricolor and normal are the same? Thanks for your help.

Tri-color and tangerine are two naturally occurring color phases of Hondurans. For two straight years, breeding my male tangerine to two tri-color females has resultes in all tangerine babies.

On the flip side, I've bred two tangerines togather and on occasion gotten a tri-color in a clutch of tangerine offspring.

There are also "in-between" looking Hondos, which aren't orange enought to be considered tangerine, nor yellow enough to look like a "classic" tri-color.

That's part of the fun of working with Hondurans - the variability in the breeding results.

So, the hondurensis tricolor are red, black and yellow? How you call the ones that are red, black and white? What about the ones in the two photos? Thanks for your answer.

Yep! That's correct - yellow, red and black would be tricolor. It's the same thing with white, red and black - it would still be a tri-color Honduran.
