It looks like a Pastel yellowbelly to me sort of looks like the pastel yellow bellys I produce but either way looks great

It looks more like a firefly to me. Does it have any fire or yellowbelly siblings?

3 more that are at least pastels but I won't know until they come out, and one that is brown with a faded head spot, but I have not gotten a clear shot of it's belly...so it could be a normal, fire or YB.

I think next time I do not breed both fire and YB to a pastel. One OR the other, not both.

All I can say with the pics is you are going to hold back the "possibles" for a shed or 2. You can't mistake a firefly for a Yb pastel IMO after a shed or 2. Fireflys just get brighter. Yb pastel are nice but not firefly nice ...

Head says firefly. Belly doesn't look like yellow belly either. I say firefly.

It's a FireFly

>>It's a FireFly

I would say the same but fireflys have grades too and I have hatched, sold and held back many regular pastel that look as good or better than the one in question....

I get that. I've hatched a few myself and quite a few at work.
