I don't see why they wouldn't. Check out this female I got from Robin (rabernet). She's a normal sibling to pastels. She's a got a fantastic orange glow to her. She's a year old in the pictures and over 600 grams. I'm really excited to breed her to my pastel, the pastel babies should be nice and bright yellow!
Her next to my post het male, he's super dark, but you can really see her colors.
