Correct. A 50% het really is 50% Possible het. I certainly wouldn't buy offspring from such a combination (especially when stated 100% het to possible het (whether its 50%, 66% or even 99.9%) not unless a visual morph came out of the clutch (which would make the 50% possible het parent a 100% het).

Far better to buy hets from reliable breeders, or from breeders who you can see the parents and offspring. Even if two 100% hets are bred together, the normal looking offspring only have a 66% chance of being a het). Best bet is to buy hets from a visual morph parent bred with a normal. Then all offspring are automatically 100% hets.
