    Question about breeding 1.2 BPs in one season

    I plan on dropping my temps to start the breeding season on Oct. 1st.
    The females I have that are ready for breeding this year are only 2 normals.
    And the only males i have that are 600+ is a pied and a lesser. The only other male close is a 450g pastel.
    I dont want to make a clutch of normals poss het pied.
    So i really want to use the lesser for both girls. How do I go about using the lesser as well as giving him enough break time? Instead of 3 days on 3 days off should i do 1.5 days with each female and 3 days off? Can anyone give me some input on the matter?
    Thanks!
