They look normal to me. Including mom. But whatever. Good looking set of granite hets.

Actually Richard it's really looking like 2 hypo/pastels and 1 normal. Now that they are feeding it's pretty obvious that the 2 are quite a bit brighter/lighter background than the one and there dorsals are bright yellow, whereas the one is more orangish yellow and the background color is a darker olive color compared to the other two. I will post a group pic after they all have there second shed and have enough size to show their true colors.

Like I said 2 pastels and one normal.
Now that these babies have shed and put a little size on at 3 weeks old it is pretty obvious that 2 are Brad Chambers line pastels and one normal. All of these babies are het for the granite gene as well as the sire was a granite visual. Likely Brad proved either that this pastel line has a super form or a new recessive gene, either way the dame of these babies was a littermate to that breeding.

There looking really good jeff

Jeff, I'm forced, kicking and screaming, to be dragged back to the view that there is indeed a "Super" form to this gene. I can't think of any other explanation that is nearly as likely.
