Mike not to sound argumentative but how can we say that something is considered a different gene and then in the next sentence say but we don't know what it looks like. We must keep a scientific look at our hobby and understand that nothing can be proven until it can be duplicated. I will be one of the first to say the citrus pastels are super hot and they do things to other morphs that other lines wish they could but until a "citrus" is produced and then reproduced it cannot be considered it's own morph.

Josh,

I'm just going by what Amir has told me, and the theory has been accepted by others. Ask GC their opinion on this. The reasoning behind this I believe, is that not all pastels produced from a citrus pastel are citrus pastels. The citrus gene itself could look no different than a normal, or so slightly different that it hasn't been noticed yet. The idea that there is two different genes at work has been around for several years. I have hatched citrus pastel g-stripes, citrus pastel het g-stripe and many g-stripes. One g-stripe is much lighter than all of the others. We THINK, this may be citrus isolated from pastel.

The pictures are of two regular pastel g-stripes and a citrus pastel g-stripe, all produced from the same pastel g-stripe male breed to het stripes that have no relation to citrus.
