I also have a gravid female Black Pastel Lesser that was bred to the KRG Pastel pied boy, Yellowbelly, and Orange Dream have also been locking with KRG this season. I have believed in this gene for the last four years and am only breeding Kalabash this season. No risk no rewards. I think my choice of morphs to put it to this year should answer a lot of questions for those of us working the project. KRG has heavy black/melanin that helps maintain contrast into adulthood. As babies they have very peachy /orange sides that I hope the OD and Yellowbelly will help bring out. KRG also helps eliminate the browning we see on Pastels as they age.
