very beautiful pastel by the way.
i some what understand what your saying .. but from ym genetics background f1 simply means any two unrelated animals offspring. f2 would be the litter produced by breeding an f1 sibling to another f1 sibling. if two unrelated animals were bred, lets say two high end hypos, your claim about tail banding would most likely not be true.
on the other hand if by f1, you ment a hypo bred to a normal, then i can completely understand your statement. much easier to convey a message without using terms like f1 online, since they are not universally understood.

please dont take any of that as putting you down or anything, just trying to spread some more information. you are deffinately right, that many hypos can be difficult to distinguish. that beautiful pastel is a great example, but i find the easiest way to tell is to look for some tail blotches without the black boarder. thanks again for the picture.
