I would think about taking your time and raising up your breeders. This year you could easily buy a pastel female and a yellow belly female for under your $500. You might even be able to get 3 morph females.

Then next year you could add an enchi boy for $250 and breed them together when the girls are ready. Look at the pastel enchis and yellow belly enchis, they sell well and are really pretty. Enchi girls alone sell well too.

As for how to breed them, Justin Kobylka has a nice "breeding recipe" on his site and Markus Jayne has a really good photo description of the breeding process on his site. Google them.

Good luck!
