With all the awesome pastel combos out there, I think one of the most valuable parts of a breeder's war chest is a pastel female.

If you are serious about making pastel combos, buy a few pastel females now and begin raising them to breeding size. During that time, 2-3 years, you can shop around for the morph males you want since it only takes them about a year (or less) to get to breeding size.

That's just one of many different ways to go about it.
