And thats all you took out of that?
What is your reason for wanting to breed?
A good breeder wants to produce good looking animals.
A better breeder wants to produce quality animals.
A great breeder wants to produce stunning animals AND is prepared to house them for their life if needed.

And no i get what alot of you are saying that breeding to a pastel means i may get normals and not desirable morphs and people won’t want thsm, but that is not what i am looking for. I am interested in tryon to breed as i have mever breds bp’s before but have owned bp’s all my life strictly as pets nothing more. I have 2 other normal bp’s both are 3500 grams. But this was somethong i picked up at petsmart last year that caught my eye and was labeled fancy nothing more. I researched and seen it resembled a pastel and wanted to cofirm thats what it was. I get that its pretty much close to a normal and it seems as though if i want to breed it better to actually buy hogher end morphs to do so but i was only looking to for my own personal collection didnt want to go crazy my first time.

Now to disagree..... A good looking Pastel would be a great addition to any genetic pool.
Her animal is not a breeder. Not saying it isnt pet quality but there is nothing there that would make a good addition to a project.
I still have my first normal females BUT I would never breed them because not only would it be a loss for me but the hatchlings as well.

Who sexed it?
If you are lucky and actually have 3 females and think you really want to expand your collection.........Get a multi gene male like one of the two I mentioned and you could produce more variety by breaking down the males genetics. And as already said, they would all be Het Clown. I prefer using a visual recessive so that I know everything produced is 100% het.

Not necessarily. You can start with a Pastel BUT it better be one great looking animal with minimal to now browning, have great blushing and color pop that will make you gaze for days.

Re: What to add and possibly pair with my Pastel
I understand. I may have jumped the gun on attacking people back but just seemed it all came down to money money money, which i was not looking to make. Thats why i posted her picture to see if there would be a good match that may produce a brighter color i know a banana could produce high colored pastels but could also muddy the banana if produced.
