mack pastel tremper update

Atleast that's what I was told he is and he sure fits the description. He was born 5/14 and 15 grams.

I think the mack pastel's and the mack tremper's look beautiful as hatchlings!

Looking good! Should make for a pretty adult!

I haven't decided if I will keep him yet. He looks way better than the images show and my PS skills weren't good enough to make him look as vibriantly colored, yet washed out as he is.

Very sweet Paul! Congrats!

Thanks Josh, Mike and Kyle.

I think he's rather cool looking , but have no clue as to marketablity or value of the "morph". In otherwords, would there be a demand of any kind for them in future years.

IMO there's a lot of potential crossing Mack Pastels into the albino strains. They make a gorgeous cross! Lots of people have shown interest in my Bells which look the way they do thanks to the Mack Pastel 'gene'. I don't expect to see much of an upgrade in color to my line this year since they're being crossed to plain old school Bells, but they're going to blow up when I add some nice Hybinos to the project. I also plan to pick up a male Red Stripe Bell to outcross with and I know that'll produce amazing results.

So basically what I'm saying is, holdback like 1.2... Breed they male to some nice Trempers and the females to some sort of off patterned Tremper (i.e. Stripe, Reverse Stripe, Raptor...).

Thanks for the input. He is my loan pastel tremper who popped out of my SS tremper project. I'll keep him and get a few girlies for him to kick it with
