    Need advice.
    I have a 550-600 gram 08 het clown female that will eat anything. I'm possibly looking into trading her for a 09 female lesser.
    Just curious to see what peoples opinions are on wether or not its a fair trade. I may have to also include some cash to get him to trade. I been thinking about it for a week, any advice? should I just keep the het female.. shes growing like crazy..
    Also, I have another het clown female but only half the size..
    I always wanted a female lesser though, and I already have a male.

    Looking at your collection you'll have more balance picking up the Lesser. But your looking at almost 3 yrs til breedable.

    I'd try and trade the smaller het girl. Keep the bigger one to have a sooner shot at clowns.

    I think it's a fair trade straight up, I would back out if the other person wanted more money. Personally I would keep the het clown female. Your odds of getting a clown increases if you have two females to breed to your het clown male. Ultimately it comes down to what you want more... Clowns or BELs.

    I baby my recessive projects- they take more time & I like to have at least 3 unrelated animals within whatever recessive morph I'm working. That's why if it were me I'd be to keep the het. It's a fair trade though. If it works into your plans.

    I would keep the het female and concentrate on the clown project. IMO As fast as morph price's seem to be dropping , I would just wait a bit longer and purchase a female lesser straight out.That way you have the clown group plus your lesser pair. BUT.. It really depends on what you are wanting to accomplish down the road. BEL's have always been and always will be one of my top favs just for sheer appearence, aswell as clowns and their potential in combos have always been one of my favs. On a side note lesser clowns are just freaking smokin!

    Nothing has been made official yet. I do like the sounds of lesser clowns... I could always keep her and breed her with my male lesser and hope for lots of female lesser poss het for clowns. Oh man, now I really dont know..

    I just cant let go of the smaller one, she was a holdback and honestly one of the most beautiful normals i've ever seen. You can pretty much see clown in her pattern.
