Question about fires.

[Reesy]

Do Fires normally lighten up with age or do they brown out like a pastel?

[Rat160]

I know my fire has stayed about the same, I don't really think fires lighten up as they age though. Not sure about the browning out yet..

[ClarkT]

I've seen quite a few pics of fires that definitely have lightened with age. I hope mine does that!

As far as I know fires will get lighter with age, not darker. It's why they make pastels look so much better.

They absolutely lighten up with age... It's a glorious transformation!

I agree completely. I must say, it makes me smile when I see others who also work with fires and their combos also agreeing, considering a disagreement I once had with a member on the topic.

[greghall]

each are different all mine lightened & changed color,love the fire gene!

My fires keep getting brighter and more blushing it seems almost every time they shed.

however, if you expect a Pastel Het Black Eyed Lucy to look better as an adult than as a baby, you will be sorely dissapointed. A Pastel Het Black Eyed Lucy is still part Pastel, and Pastels do brown out! A Pastel Het Black Eyed Lucy is two genes, one lightes up and one browns out, they do not cancel eachother out Focshi. So you can smile all you like, knowing you are giving out incorrect information.

A Firefly will look better as a baby, because the Pastel gene, as a baby, is usually not browned out. But, once the brown out stage comes, a Firefly will brown out a bit, usually not a complete brown out but lots of brown speckles along its back.

However, a Sulfur or Fire Mojave will look better as they age, because of the Het Black Eyed Lucy gene, lightening up as they age. The Mojave has no brown out phase....
