question on morph breeding?

earthpig23 Jun 02, 2004 07:45 AM

My question is...lets say i have a pastel..first off does it matter how pretty the normal is that i breed it to. Does it effect the look of the pastel. Second if I breed a pretty pastel with ugly one would this effect the coloration or is the actually look of the pastel varying no matter what. I know if you breed nice lines together you get nice babys but are all the babies nice? any ways just a few things im pondering.

Generally speaking, pretty adults prodcue pretty babies. Many "normal" animals will share the pattern traits with the Co-dominant mate but not always. There are way too many variables to say EXACTLY what the outcome will be BUT having an ugly Pastel Jungle is better than no Pastel Jungle, right? Hope that helped.
