Any chance the adults both have fire floating around in there somewhere?

I guess anything is possible, but I do not believe so.

Re: First clutch....Bitter sweet
Pairing was Pastel male to Mojave female. The easiest answer is that the female retained sperm from last years Mystic pairing, but this doesn't appear to be a Mystic Potion. I have always felt that the Pastel male had something "extra" going on. Still unsure exactly what happened here. If this hatching is a Black Eyed Lucy... I think my head might explode

Re: First clutch....Bitter sweet
That male is super bright. Could be something else going on there... Not sure what though. Either way, congrats on a beautiful hatchling! You definitely deserved some good luck after losing so many eggs.
One thought - if it was retained sperm, could that account for the high number of lost eggs? Does retained sperm "deteriorate" over time?

Yes IMO that would contribute to the high infertility rate. But that still leaves the question as to why this isn't a Mystic Potion. I did acquire this female as a proven breeder. So I guess its possible that it could have retained sperm from two years ago. In that case, the pairings would be unknown to me. I do have another female ( spinner) gravid with 8 eggs from the Pastel male. She was a virgin so that clutch may answer some questions.

Re: First clutch....Bitter sweet
It is a very bright male. The hatchling to me looks like it has dark eyes and some yellow patches, but I have zero personal experience with fires. It certainly doesn't look like a mystic potion. You'll have to post updates of the next clutch.

Could your pastel be a pastel lesser?
