Can't decide

[PitOnTheProwl]

I have a Pastel Het Clown and have not yet found a male Clown that I really like so I have decided to just make my own the long way.

Now I just don't know which male to use.......

Not sure it makes any sense to make possible hets. I do like pastel lesser clowns and all combos of those morphs but breeding a het to a pastel lesser to breed back and hope you picked a het seems like it could amount to a huge waste of time if you don’t get lucky. I personally would hold out until you find the right visual. You would most likely get visuals your first clutch. Not only will that be rewarding in itself but you would also have so many more options for the next future pairing.

if I had to choose from your choices though, I would go with the pastel lesser because you’ll at least produce some beautiful combos, you might just have to wait a very long time to get any visual clowns.

Well Double recessive are a pain so I would probably wait to do visual to visual and make guaranteed DH if you want to go the Double recessive way.

To me it would be a toss between Pastel Lesser and Pastel Mojave (in clown I tend to prefer Lesser over Mojave), I would not personally do Pewter simply because it add a lot more pattern to the clown and it really makes them muddy (they are cool when they are young as they grow not so much)

All I have is time.
I am never in a hurry on any of my projects.
Also holding back the entire clutch isn't a problem, just like my VPI Snow project.

Ok, if you plan to hold back all of them and breed them all then that will definitely increase your odds of hitting on at least one of them.

I agree with Deb and all her points, especially that lesser goes best with clown out of your options.

I like your patience attitude, I’m the exact opposite, and will probably never attempt a double recessive, because my impatience would force me to spend a fortune buying the visual genes.

Can't see the poll on tapatalk I see lesser and Mojave mentioned tho, I would do lesser in clown over Mojave. Mojave clown just don't look like clowns to me.
