OK, here`s the best use of $2500. Get a nice male pastel and several normal females. That should leave you with about $1500.Use the balance for a male ghost and a 100% het ghost female. With this combo you can start making money right away with the pastel male,most males will breed for you as 7-9 months old.In the mean time you are a little diversified with a second morph. The reason NOT to get albinos is simple from an investment standpoint.The $$$ tied up in the het females is dead money for 3 years. You can produce 30-40 pastels over this 3 year period before you can produce any albinos. With these sales, you can invest in lots of other projects. Another positive of getting into a ghost project is that they are way more in demand for producing designer balls than albinos are. You see alot more female albinos for sale,than you do female ghosts. Getting het pieds shouldnt even be considered from an investment standpoint. Now if you just love pieds or albinos and just want to have or produce one there`s nothing wrong with getting into them.I own both albinos as well as pieds.But with limited $$$,they are the best INVESTMENT.
