I agree with this 100% If you want better money you have to produce better animals. The only competition seems to be within the average looking animals that are all the same thing. The last group of hypos I had sold so fast at price averages of 800-1000 I barley had time to pick one as a keeper, (they were smokin BTW) but you can buy a regular hypo pretty cheap.. I think essentialy you get what you pay for 98% of the time.

If you are starting a sunglow project, you need to look at it from the beginning and say to yourself how can I make a better looking sunglow. Add in another trait Stripe, arabesque, motley, jungle, etc... This is exactly what the big breeders do, and thats why they always have the new stuff.

People could make what ever designer morph it may be themselves, but if the big guys are already 3-4 years ahead of you and you are trying to play catchup, by time you do catch up, the market is soft. So you have to spend the $ to make the $ in some of those circumstances.

I think folks that have put some real thought into trying somthing different deserve to make the $$ they do.
