Since you said "pray for females" I'll play devil's advocate and ask why? If males of the morph are now selling for under$1000 , why would I want to pay say$2000 for a female, that I have to raise up for two full years, then pray that she decides to breed, then pray that she lays a viable clutch, then pray that those eggs hatch, then pray that the odds are kind to me?? The only thing that I can make with a female that I can't make with only the male is the Super which in two years , maybe 3-4, depending how lucky you are in getting that female to breed, what will that be worth?
Using this morph to work into recessive pattern morphs is where the future is with this I.e. Pieds, Clowns, Genetic Stripes etc,not producing females in my opinion. Heck a great affordable project today would be to buy one of those said males, buy a couple of cheap adult genetic stripe girls or even a Pied and go to work. Trying to cash in quick on a quick hit co-Dom project is riskier than taking the longer more circuitous route that is the recessive path. My .02
