more pastel questions...

teaspoon Aug 05, 2008 07:17 AM

So, I've got a pastel and a lemon pastel. If I breed them, do I get all pastel, all lemon pastels, some of each, or a bunch of pastels that look something like both parents? Plus however many normals and super pastels... hopefully a lot of superpastels.

Basically you have two pastels. You won't get regular pastels or lemon pastels, just pastels. A lemon pastel is just a certain line of pastels but at the end of the day it is just a pastel. So here is the breakdown.

25% Normals

50% Pastels

25% Super Pastels

I think I understand now. They're all pastels, But the lemon pastel just happens to be brighter.
Thanks!

The Lemon is just a line bred for color version. In theory you should get advantages from BOTH parents. I have some babies from pastel M x normal f that look 2x's better than either parent. so in theory some will look like mom some like dad some a nice mix. Personally I feel the mother is more important anyway. IMHO they tend to look more like moms than dads.............Exception to the pastel rule are vanilla, enchi, cinnamon, desert, black all called pastel but are something all together different. BUT also make even more exceptional animals. When you get some money up and you have a Super to breed with get an Enchi or cinnamon. When touched with the Pastel gene they are drop dead knock outs..........................Reminder once you have a super anything it breeds is at least pastel!!!!!.............God Bless, Lee VanHyfte
