pied breeding

toxicogenic Jan 15, 2008 08:15 AM

hey guys..i have 1.1 100% and 1.0 66% het pieds that are still too young to breed but i wanted to know what would be another morph worth adding to the group. i still need to get another female and i was thinking maybe i should get something different. any ideas? thanks..

what was the point at getting the other 66% male?

what do you like? do you want to ultimately make pieds and then cross another morph into the pied? i see a lot of these questions but it grinds down to what YOU like.

anyways, if it were me i would shoot for an albino pied.

the 66% was an added bonus. pieds are my favorite morph but i like many others. eventually i'd like to make a pied cross but am unsure of which to get next. that was my question. what do you think would make a nice cross? i've seen albino pieds, spider pieds... i'm just curious as to what you would buy if u were me..

I would sell both your 100% het male and your 66% het male, and buy a visual pied. If you don't have the money for that, then I would add 1 or more female 100% het pieds. Think about it this way, if you bred a visual to 100% het then all of the offspring will be either a visual or 100% het. If you bred a het to het, then you may get a visual, and the rest will be possible hets. Pos hets may just be normals, no way to tell without breeding them out. You will create a lot more visual with visual to het breedings. If you are wanting to sell them, from a business standpoint, whats a few grand, when you can make at least that, most likely more ever year. Hope this helps.

Adding another 100% het pied makes the most sense, unless you wanna spend some money. Then I`d say get a Pastel 100% Pied, you could produce pieds,pastels, and pastel pieds.
