It's up to you, but I think that would be a bad move if you can already tell what sex they are. If they're sexable, then you probably only have another few months before yours are of breeding size. Be patient and you'll produce twice as many babies with what you already have.

If you're asking if someone is going to trade you two really bright colored breeders for three average colored ones that aren't breedable, I don't think so. I know I wouldn't.
