Ultimately, you are going to have to get very friendly with basic family genetics and inheritance patterns in order to understand the more complex morphs and combinations. For example, the potential results of breeding a simple recessive morph to a codominant morph (and it gets more complicated the more genes you add into the mix). There is no single, be-all, end-all resource that will tell you what you will get from a combo because there are just too many. You have to learn to do it yourself.
