Jeff,

The 2 females went to Ralph Davis....not NERD. Ralph was willing to give me what I wanted for them so I moved them States side.

The 9 month old male maybe my male....not sure. If it is owned by Jason Hunter than it is from me. I would be able to identify him in a pic. Last time I talked to Jason the male wanted to breed but he was too young to know what was going on.

To be too young to know what's going on again.....

That's right, I meant to say Ralph Davis. I'm glad you got what you wanted for them and didn't decrease the value just to sell them domestically.

Any pictures of them and their siblings from last year?

Hatching Pastel. As you can see some hatch with a purple head. The better looking pastels have the most purple heads.

Over the past 3 years I've had 10 Pastels and all of them have had patternless bellies. It is one of the traits of this particular line. Here are couple different Pastel belly shots:

I can't believe you sold that little male!! He's dyno-mite!!! Seriously.

What ratios are you getting when you breed the pastels to normals? Obviously, it should be 50/50, but what have you had?

Looking good my man. Very good.

Last year my male bred 5 females of which 2 ovulated (a normal female and the Orange Ghost female).

The normal female produced 8 eggs and 2 slugs. One egg went bad during incubation. Out of the remaining 7 eggs I hatched out 1.5 Pastels and 1.0 normals.

The Orange Ghost female produced 5 eggs of which 1.1 Pastels het for Orange Ghost and 3.0 100% het Orange Ghosts were produced.

I now have an adult male pastel which has bred 8 females this year. I believe I've got 3 gravid females from him so far. I'm running about 3 weeks behind this year as far as ovulations go so hopefully more females ovulate. I've also got 1.1 pastels het orange ghost and 0.3 regular pastels that were all produced in 2001.

I talked to Jason Hunter in BC today and it is my Pastel male that I sold him that was breeding. I believe he's got a couple females gravid from him. The pastels hatched out fairly big (90g's) so I'm not surprised that he was breeding.

He must only be 9 months old!! I wonder how fertile he's going to be though?
