    Black pastel/normal differences with pics

    Hey guys, just wondering what are the differences between a black pastel and a normal. Just got our new girl 2 weeks ago as a normal 100 het for albino female from Bob Futo. Bob was nice enough to email me pics of her parents, and the female is a black pastel. Just wondering if she has any of the traits of a black pastel. My untrained eye cant tell at all. Sorry for the first three pics and quality, my camera is junk. Thanks all.

    Re: Black pastel/normal differences with pics

    Thanks for the link, I should have looked at the stickys first dang it. There is a ton of info in it, I just need to study up. Some of you guys are too good at picking out morphs and I feel like I cant tell the difference between aliens head, swiggles, train tracks, etc. I need practice for sure.

    I'm sorry, but I can't tell anything from those tiny photos.

    A Black Pastel is a Co-Dom gene, so your female is either going to be a Black Pastel het for Albino or a Normal het for Albino.

    Since she was sold as a Normal het for Albino, I'm positive that's what she is. A breeder would not mix that up.
