Pastel vs Fire

[Zincubus]

The "line" is not what to look for. That is not even an identifying trait of what a Pastel is. A pastel is yellow/orange in color. Even a low quality baby can't be mistaken as anything other than a low quality pastel. Fire's are a bit tricky because a low quality one can look like a normal to the untrained eye. But distinguishing a Pastel from a Fire is very easy. Continue to look up pictures and you'll learn the difference.

That's kinda odd as the 'default' pics on both links weren't as I expected .

Meaning ... The first didn't look like any Pastel I've come across and the second link didn't look like a Fire . Just referring to the default pix on each link not the ones you can move onto.

There lies the problem with our beloved Royals which is there are sooooo many flamin' morphs and many appear to overlap .
There is a thread on a different forum talking about a Royal morph photo and no two people can even agree on what the hell it is

Incidentally , I'm not slagging Royals off as I love the little beauties .

( I've got a matching non-related pair of HC Albinos and a stunningly bright looking female Pastel )
