My first project was a 1.1 lemon pastels and a 0.1 spider. No hets only morphs,designers and normals. My second project was albinos. Originaly it was 1 homo male a 100 het male and 2 poss. het females. But after some second thought I decided that for the time and effort I had to have a homo female to really make it work for me. My third project is a 1.1 unrelated het pieds I got from Greg Graziani. The cheap way for sure, but at the time I was not ready to flip for a homo male. Maybe by the end of the year, we'll see what prices do. My forth project is a 1.1 pair of orange ghost. Here I decide that homos where the only way to go. I want to produce honeybees and POG's and figured that a spider male 100 het for ghost to a ghost female is the fastest way to get there, at least for the honeybee. And the same thing goes for the albino project as well. I will breed a spider female to my male albino and then the following season breed a male spider 100% het to my albino female. Is any one starting to see a pattern. I personaly believe that using a homo female and a 100% het male is the quickest way to produce a visual morph.(son back to mother) It may not give you quantity, but possibly breeding a male at one year of age is better then trying to breed a het female at two years (maybe) three years of age.I also have a new project where I purchased two visual females. The male I have is a pastel that is possible het. Again I figure even If he doen't prove out all of his sons will and a lot quicker then his daughters. But thats just my plans.
