2010 Dinking

anthony james mc May 10, 2009 04:06 PM

I invested a good chunk of $$ in this guys as babies , I hope one or two prove out to be something. I'll have some normals to spare for them next year. I think if they are anything at all they will be simple codoms so if I don't see results right away after a couple clutches from each male I will likely write them off as nongenetic, time will tell.

I'm sure plenty of people wouldn't put much stock in breeding out these dinkers. But a little thinking outside the box and dinking is what made these little bad boys I call Potions!

Enjoy the pics!

That's the gamble with dinkers...
you end up with either normals, or something awesome.

I agree 100%.

This girl is about a week or 10 days away from Ovulation so I will be breeding her one more time to a Mystic in the next few days. She seems to have something going on with her and some of her babies so maybe she will tweek the Mystic gene out a little? Alot of her babies remind me of some sort of vanilla but for now she's just a weird breeder. Dinking is alot of fun as long as you don't expect everything to be genetic as alot of times they aren't.

I have to agree, dinkin is what makes it fun!!! Producing morphs and combos is great but my dinkin projects really keep it interesting. I have racks full of dinkers and there offspring. We may shed light on a few this year!!!

Keep dinkin
