    Desert market

    My jaw dropped when I saw the current prices on deserts.
    Males 3 to 400 bucks.
    Wow! Deserts are really nice to see the price drop that low, that quick. I understand the problem with females, but they still haven't been put into a lot of common/simple combos.
    Thoughts? Anyone else notice this?

    Re: Desert market

    From an investment standpoint Deserts bite because of the severe limit on return on investment due to the problems with females and breeding.
    I love the look and am curious how some of the combo's will turn out and would not hesitate to add a male myself.
    I really hope a gene that produces the same look without the fertility drawbacks turns up from a dinker project somewhere.

    If I'm not mistaken, I think Shatters look a lot like deserts, without the problem with females. I don't think there's many in the US, though.
