that sounds like a great start. I would suggest not getting the male het albino if you are going to buy an actual male albino though. It will be a male that you will never breed but then again if you buy the whole group from one breeder the male het would basically be free.

What do you plan on producing? Is anything in that group something you want to produce for yourself?

I think it is a good group, but you should also consider what YOU want to see produced from your own collection, because without a doubt, you will be keeping back some animals as well.

Good luck!!!

what do you mean produce for myself, do you mean for me to keep? if so, idonno, genetics and what not still confuse me, but, breeding a parnt back to a child wont do the next generation any harm right? like they wont be all [bleep]ed up, two heads or anything lol, if i can breed them then yes i would be keeping some, for futur projects.

Looks good, but like another poster said, buying a male het albino probably wouldn't do you much good if you already have a male albino (breeding wise; pet wise - I'm sure he'd make an excellent pet). Why don't you substitute him with another co-dominant morph like a pinstripe or a cinnamon. Cinnamons are picking up momentum with the silver bullet morph. Heck, I'm saving up for a cinnamon female. My collection is actually looking like that without any of the albinos/het albinos. I'm leaning towards the clown and cinnamon for my next ball. Hopefully I'll pick up one in Sand Diego this coming June.

yeah, drop the het male albino, and add a yellow belly
