Since most morphs are rather pricey, it makes sense and cents to breed that moph to as many normal females as possible. Raise the females up and breed them back to daddy to produce homozygous morphs.



Alternatively, you could also sell the morph and buy the same type of morph a couple years in the future to breed with the females. This would ensure fresh blood and you'd eliminate the need for inbreeding.



Hope this clarifies things for you a bit.
