That is exactly why I thought most people would say the normal male. The pastel is being bred to a very nice and light female this year another dinker I have going and from last years breeding of that females a pastel is the best choice. This one I am hoping to get another year of the results I got last year and maybe something different. Future plans are for an albino but no albinos this year because I do not have them yet but will soon they will be my next purchase along with a fire.
