I agree with you. I beleive that the original normal gene has alot to do with genetic makeup. I think the normal animals breed to the co- dom animals has a huge effect on the out come of the off spring. If you take a really high yellow female normal and breed it to a nice pastel, then take those pastels and breed them together the end result should be a brighter lighter pastel and supers. I experimented last year with breeding my lemon male to different females. Every clutch had influence from the normal female. I truly feel that the "nicer" pastels had nicer normal parents. But thats just my thought.
