I'm wanting to add another male to my collection this summer but in having a hard time deciding which to add. Either a lesser het clown, or a Calider. The obvious answer is get both. But for now I only want to add one. I love how they both look, I like the looks of the spider combo better, but I like how the lesser combo compliments what I already have. And from what I've found, a quality animal of each combo runs about the same price point.

Right now I have 1 male a coral glow, and 2 females, an enchi and a pastel het clown. The plan is to make coral glow clowns eventually by back breeding babies from the CG and pastel pairing and hope I luck out in getting a CG clown quickly. But right now without adding another male, all the male holdbacks with be a CG combo.

So with my plans, I won't be breeding the lesser get clown to the het clown pastel for a few years. But I can make a bunch of possible hets by breeding him to ye enchi female. And holding back some babies to cross with the CG X pastel babies.

It's a hard decision for me. I like the Calider better, but I feel the lesser het clown has more possibilities that I like the looks of. I'm still new to breeding and reading morphs, so I want to keep the genes I'm working with easy to identify and keep a small collection where I like the looks of all possible combinations. I also want to start with simple one or two gene combos where it's easy to see what each gene does. And to see and show what the base form of each end looks like. For now, these are the genes that do it for me. Eventually I'll probably have both, but for now, only one.

I know that in the end it's all up to me and what I like. But I'd like a few opinions on the possibilities.

Thanks,
Kyle
