Here is another strategy you could work with.What you could do is try raising some CB females to adult size. Say you go buy 5 females today. You could raise them up to breeding size. Then you could sell 3 of them, because everyone knows that CB adult females are hard to come by, and keep 2. You should be able to get at least $400 or $500 per female. Take that money and invest in a male CO-Dom. now you have 2 females that are ready to breed, and all your waiting for is for your male. Females take longer time than males to be bred, so wait a year and breed your male to the females you held back. I really think you should not buy and waste your time with normal males, because pastels are dropping in prices, few years from now they will cost propaply around $200-$300. By then your females should be ready to breed, and by selling your 3 other females you have some money to play with. Im not trying to discourage you out of breeding normals, but with normals you return will not even cover the food bill, let alone help you buy other more expensive morphs. Hope i was of some help.
