These was one of our dinking around projects and I guess now we are glad we dinked with it. The Dad is an African import we picked up a while back and the mom is a " Tiger " striped ball that likes to throw her pattern to her offpsring. For some odd reason I think this is going to be a killer line of Pastels !!! We would have ever imagined that he would be a pastel.
Here is the pic of Dad.

The male and the babies look more like Arctics than Pastels to me Wyatt; either way they are beauts, congratulations!
I've got a girl that looks very similar and I had posted it before stating that I thought it was an axanthic pastel. I had very negative comments such as "no pastel in that" but I know better. She is eating like a pig and I should be able to breed her this upcoming season. Now Wyatt, you have proved the co-dominant/dominant gene in your line.Breed the male to one of his daughters and I think you will prove out the Recessive (axanthic) part of it. BAM! black and white pastels!Should be a killer project! Congradulations, Bill
After seeing your male I had to go check this girl. I took this pic a while ago and didn't get to many comments, except from one poster who wanted some babies when she is bred this coming season (she is a gerbil eater)! She really looks like your male and she will go this coming season. I was thinking of breeding her to a wc adult axanthic as my thinking was a 2 tone axanthic (?)(she is pictured with one of my other females for comparison). Now it appears from your project she may be infact a different pastel? Should be another interesting season coming up! Enjoy! I"ll try to get some outside pics of her this weekend.
Post more pics as they mature. Good luck with them.
I would agree with Eric....daddy looks more Arcticish/IMGish.....nonetheless.......the babies look awesome.
Congrats!!!!!
