I would really like to get more info on these guys. When they come in from the wholesellers, most are only partially spotted. Of the ones I have seen, very few are truely fully spotted. It seems like maybe 1 in 50 is fully spotted. It makes me think that the spotting is more based on geography than anything else. I personally have 2 of them, both fully spotted.Felicia says:
The man in the photo is @Riccardo_Peri, It was said in the original photo caption that he caught and released the fish safely.
