    If you breed any of the pastel types, do they all combine to make super pastels?

    I'm debating if it's worth adding a couple breeder pastel females to my collection. Lemon pastel and Graziani pastel to be exact and my breeder male is a pastel clown. Would he make super pastels with them? That is really the best outcome of the breeding, super pastel 100% het clowns. Even then I'm not really sure it would make sense to go that route because I'd be going a little backwards because these females would be the lowest end animals I have. The thing I like is they are big and proven breeders so it would be a quick way to get some breeding experience, all of my females but one I will be growing out for at least a year or two before they are ready to breed. I may be interested in one holdback if I get a female super pastel. I just don't want to end up with a bunch of babies that there is no market for. Please share your opinions.

    The pastels are pastels. LOL. Different lines. I did something similar. When I started breeding I bought adult females. This way I knew what I was getting. Mostly single gene stuff a few pastels included. It was actually easier to find pastels than normals for me. I still buy adult females when I can. I bought three adult breeders this year form Garrick. Be careful with your breedings though. It can become difficult to tell if the pastel is there or not when the genes start piling on. I have been seeing a lot of "possible pastel" combos being sold lately.

    Look for quality pastels not the line of pastel. Lines mean nothing when it comes to pastel, back to if there's a market for it that depends on if you produce nice pastels or not so nice pastels. In your case if you are breeding a pastel clown too them then they will all be 100% het clown and you shouldn't have a problem selling the ones you don't want to hold back.

    Thanks for the help everyone. You all pretty much confirmed what I thought. The only reason I even had to ask is because wobp threw me off with the genetic wizard and the outcome shows the different pastels together for 1/4 of the babies but does not convert them to supers? Just a glich in the system that needs to be fixed I guess.
    Thanks again all!

    Just remember black pastels are a different morph.

    Black Pastel. LOL. Yeah, and what a misleading morph name it is.

    I've heard people refer to cinnamons as cinnamon pastels... I'm pretty sure that's what they used to be called. Watch out for that because also aren't pastels
