I'll give this a try:

Sam,
Pastels aren't really a morph. There blood line is from a lot of selective breeding.
Pastel X Anery = Pastel HET Anery's
Pastel X Albino = Pastel HET albino
Pastel X Hypo/Salmon = Pastel Hypo/Salmons

Depending on the ratio of the litter, for the recessive gene, say for you get 40 babies in each litter, 50% will be HET Anery or Albino. While the other half will be Pastel Het Anery or Albino.
Since salmon/hypos are co-dom genes, Half of the litter will be Pastel Salmons, while the other half will be Pastels. Normally, everytime I see a Normal from a salmon litter, they look very nice looking.

Now when you breed the Pastel hets:
Pastel Het Anery X Anery = Anery Pastel (I have no idea what the name for them are)
Pastel Het Albino X Albino = Pastel Albinos (they are really awesome looking!)

Hope I got this right.

Thanks for the reply - does anyone know what the pastel anery looks like - or the hypo pastel?

Does the pastel albino hold resemblance to the coral albino?

Any pics of anything to do with pastels?

Cheers

I haven't seen any pastel anery's. I think they may be called pastel anery dreams? I'm not sure.
But Jeff Ronne is the man to see the pastels in everything on his site.
