Thanks guys, I really appreciate all of your input. I guess I will have more data for you either way when I do breed the son back to his mother.

As for this guy, his belly is not different from other pastels. The notable points in him, siblings and mom, are the variable striping with the enclosed circles in it, the bright flames up the sides, the overall brightness and quality of color and some odd banding. He is just over 500 grams now and his color gets brighter as he gets bigger.

I have no idea if he is a harlequin or not, and I still see much disagreement on what exactly a harlequin is defined as or by, but I do think I have enough info to think he is likely genetic and will try to figure it out as I go. Pastels are so variable and you do get so many odd ones when you produce many of them that it gets hard to decide if you really want to raise a male pastel but this one I had to keep. Evan
