Pastel Enchi vs. Orange Dream Yellowbelly.

[Mangiapane85]

So when I look at my Pastel Enchi by himself and then look at my OD YB by herself, they seem to be very similar. ... and then I put them together and whoa!! That orange Dream gene really is amazing. Look at the shine and brightness. And of course she came from Eric Alan.



And a bonus pic of the OD YB. My son named her Dory. I can dig it.



Can't wait to see the offspring these two produce together.

That OD yellow belly is gorgeous!

Assuming Monty is what he I bought him as if you produce the four gene animal it'll look kinda like this;

Him now


His colour doesn't really show in the pictures. He pretty much glows haha

So he's supposed to be Pastel Enchi OD and YB? .. looks a little different than the ones I've seen.

Thanks for the compliments!

That's what I bought him as...

I'm pretty convinced I can see the enchi and yellowbelly in him and there's definitely something else going on on top of that. He does look a little odd but can't really put my finger on it. Do you have any ideas?

The only idea I've been able to come up with is maybe he's super pastel instead of pastel OD unless maybe he's the five gene animal. I'm really not sure... Either way he's locked up to my girl so assuming she goes again this year I'll be able to judge from the babies.

Do you have any pics of the four gene combo you saw?

Here ya go. From morph market



It says possible super Pastel but I don't think it is based off the way the head stamp looks.

Monty took a pretty hefty chunk out of my wallet lol, he came from a reputable breeder up here in Canada so I'm not too concerned. What I'm seeing looking at that animal is a really high enchi expression without much yellowbelly influence on the pattern. I think Monty either has lower enchi expression, stronger yellow belly expression or maybe isn't even an enchi at all. Although he has the characteristic eye pinch going on but maybe that's just a coincidence.

I'm really not sure how to explain the color difference between them. I'm pretty sure the pairing that produced Monty was pastel OD * pastel enchi YB so there is a chance he's a super pastel instead of pastel OD or maybe even super pastel OD. It could also be a line bred thing... I'm thinking I may have been a little over my head starting with a four gene male. It's really confusing but I just try not to think about it. With any luck I'll know for sure in like 6 months.

To be honest, yours looks more like it has fire in it.

Looks a lot like a normal firefly in my opinion. Granted, yours is an adult size, so I really am not sure.
