opinions, please.

This is my first year breeding. I have a female pastel, who has been paired quite a few times with my big spider male...I have also paired this male with my 3000g normal female.
So my prospective babies are normals, spiders, pastels, and bumblebees. Well I was wondering if anyone thinks pairing my 500g male albino with either female is a good idea. I feel like there's a chance that pairing my albino with either of the females will take away from the prospective spider combos and I will only have either het albinos or pastel het albinos...
SO if you were in my shoes, would you take advantage of the sperm plugs on this little guy or just keep pairing the one spider to both females??

Unless you plan on raising up your hets and breeding them back together I would hold off on breeding the albino. I say just shoot for the bumblebees this go round. My 2 cents. "And may the odds be ever in your favor."

The problem with breeding the albino in, is that you will have no idea who the father was concerning any normals you hatch. Even if you get a spider sibling, you still run the chance of having a split clutch.

Also, even if you get all normals and zero spiders, that doesn't mean they are from the albino. You might have just had bad odds.

So yes, in short, unless you plan on raising all the normals and proving them out one way or another, I would wait.
