Hi - need a little input here. I have- a Motley male, and a Jungle male, both 2006 I am looking for a nice female(s) 2007 for futue projects. I am looking to spend around $1000 for each female. Any ideas. ?
Thanks

There are as many ways as you can think of to go. There are always the albino and/or hypo routes, although any recessive trait would be a multi generation project.

IMO, you need to think about what you want to produce, what one baby do you want to end up with and how to get there.

Maybe a good looking normal for one of the two and use the rest of the money for something a little more expensive.

Just my 2 cents.

Alan,

I'd get a nice female Jungle or stretch my budget for a Motley, to aim for future supers from one of these morphs. Then get a nice normal or Pastel to refine the other morph (and balance out the budget!). Do you know anyone with some nice pastels?
