My main goal for my pastel breedings this season is for the females. My goal is to have several females and eventually a few supers (both male and females) to use for my morph mixing pleasure. One day I hope I will also be able to produce my own Silver Bullet

female pastels will be worth alot to people that want to create pastel recessive combos. Anyone who is going to go for a pastel pied or pastel clown will want to use a male homozygous to breed to a pastel female, so they can still breed the male to others females for other combos. Thats just my take. I am going to keep all my female pastels this year, just like a normal female, everything that comes out from a homozygous x pastel breeding will be het or het pastel and still be a great start for anyone looking for a fun project. I only saw one pastel het pied male for sale this year and he is/was $20k.... now while thats crazy, if time is important to you, it may be worth it.
