Jungle pastels....

Thanks Randy! That really helped! I guess since the jungle pattern is probably not that common anymore, it will be difficult for me to find a pastel "jungle".....oh well, the hunting begins.

My boy has the look of a Classic Jungle Pastel.

Hmmmm, I just went to a show up in ME and I was able to pick up a 1600g proven female normal for $50 and I saw quite a few other breedable sized or proven normals there as well. I guess that does explain why there were so many of them there at crazy low prices. So more of the big breeders are moving to pastels as breeders?
I picked up a real nice looking little pastel female there also. Yeah, that's really interesting though I'm still fairly new to the hobby but I hadn't noticed or heard before now of people doing that.
