How do you keep yourself in check???

Lets just say, I cannot set myself on "ONE" plan!?!?!
BUT I am also in a situation that could take several directions and I am not a very patient person.
I got into balls almost a year ago and most of you have seen the pics I have posted so you know them:D
My situation is:
Females:

Normal
0.7
two of these are proven breeders, one of the breeders is a rescue with a mild belly burn and I am going to keep her in QT for a total of 4 or 5 months. I have already had her for about 6 weeks, the guy I got her from was a TOTAL idiot and I bought her just to get her out of the situation, regardless of the fact that I dont know if she will ever breed after the belly burn??

Pastel
0.1 still have at least a year wait

Mojave
0.1 hatchling so TOO many years to wait:weirdface:weirdface

VPI Granite
0.1 proven breeder

Males:

Breedable
Granite
1.0

Pastel
1.0

Spider
1.0

100% Albino
1.0

Males:
need a little more weight

Yellow Belly
1.0

Orange Ghost
1.0

Males:
heatchlings

Lesser
1.0

Mojave
1.0

I know this will be my first season and I really want to get some eggs on the ground to experience the good and the bad that can happen.
As you can see, we have gotten into a lot in the past year:O The problem is what direction do I or should I head??

I am thinking of rotating the pastel and spider to one of or both normals (if the belly burn is all taken care of by then)? I know this will leave me with a lot of normal hatchlings.
I am also wanting to prove out the granites as genetic and see if I can luck out on a super granite. Problem there is I have not been able tofind much information on the supers. Is it just one of those washed out old morphs that no one is dealing with anymore? Would it be a waste of my time? I am not wanting to get rich by any means but I dont see too much going on with the granite. So is there some place I am missing?

The only set plans I have are for the male lesser and female mojo, I AM GETTING MY BEL!!!!:D:D:gj:
I also know that when I bought my OG, I didnt know too much about dom/rec genes BUT after seeing what the OG can do to other morphs it is something I am really wanting to work with, just takes SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo long:tears::tears::tears:

Really I am just looking for some advice on a good direction to take. I dont want to add any more to the group till I have a season done. It would also be nice to know that there are others out there with my same scattered a.d.d.:oops: I want two of everything:oops::oops:

Go for super-granites, and if you get lucky, hold back 1.1 of them.

Lol, I'm in the same boat as you. My plans change all the time and I'm not even close to being a patient person. Being on this site doesn't help either because it seems like every other day I see a new combination and think "Man! That would be cool to produce!". :P

I don't know much about granites, so I can't help you there, but your plan to rotate your spider and pastel to one or both of your proven breeders sounds good to me. I have one proven breeder female that I plan on rotating all my males with as soon as she is out of QT, and one normal female who is 1800g empty that I plan on just pairing with my enchi. I'm praying for a female enchi from them. :please:

Good luck! :)

That right there might be another problem:rofl: I have to keep reminding myself that the babies MUST be sold but I know whats going to happen:weirdface

i say go for the super granites. It will be a couple of years, but at the moment, my long term goal is to make my own butter granites....and a BEL lol. but new ideas come and go all the time. what keeps me in check is my wife saying "no, no more right now" (as she is checking craigslist for more).

Your female with the belly burn should be able to produce. I went to visit Brian Gundy's breeding facility yesterday and he has a 10 year old normal that he rescued that had a severe belly burn and she had half a tail. He said she is probably the best breeder he has today so far.

Side note: Brian Gundy's line "Gold Blush" mojave is really a amazing morph. The colors he has produced is really something else.
