What makes a leopoldi a black diamond variant?

[Nic]

I think in singapore starry ray means P14.

i think thats where i heard it.... i do remember starry being referred to p14 before... hence lots of spots

So, are Black Diamonds genetically proven? Will two BD parents consistently throw BD offspring? Or is it possibly a geographical trait that can be selectively bred?

Spreaking of markings...both my Leos have spotted undersides (pretty much like what is shown on the first page of this thread) and my female has been consistently getting darker and growing a ring of spots around her disk as she's grown. She was completely "normal" if even ugly (if a Leo can be called ugly) when I got her almost 5 years ago.

what's a Starry

Picture show henlei x starry.
They show mating behavoir. So there will be some plush-hybrids soon

that's the ray from the upper side......
if the markings are the difference, which I do not doubt, this seems to be a BD too

Yes, agree, this is a black diamond.
