Ah - what do you currently have? I thought from your other post that you already have a 100% het anery 66% het albino... but looks like you're trying to figure out what to buy and mate with your "normal" BCI.

If you want to create morphs from a "normal"... you can do the following and make a bit more money from the offspring.

Get an albino. Even though none of the babies will be albino, they will ALL be 100% het. No question - they will all have an albino gene. These can go for far more than normal BCI babies.

Or, get a super-hypo (or possible super-hypo). Worst case, half of the babies will be hypo, and half will be normal. The normals will be fully normal, not het for anything. Best case, ALL of the babies will be hypo, and you will have "proven" that your possible super hypo is actually a super hypo - making it more desirable should you ever have to sell it.

Hypos always seem to be worth more than normals, and depending on their looks, can even be worth more than some albinos.

Similar to an albino, if you bought an anery to pair with your normal, all the offspring would be 100% het for anery. 100% hets are ALWAYS worth far more than any other kind of possible het.

As for affordability - a hypo would probably be the easiest to manage at the moment - but I've seen some wicked sales for albino babies as well. Full-blooded anerys are harder to find.

Hope this helps you decide...
