I have normal females that will be ready to breed this year what morph types give off multiple morphs in the clutch? like a bumble bee pastel/spider/normals in the clutch what others do that?

There are no morphs that can give off multiple genes. The bumble bee is a combo morph which means that to produce one you have to breed a pastel with a spider. The pastel and spider are considered base morphs as they occurs naturally in the wild.
Check out this site. On each individual morphs page it says if it is a base morph or combo (also called designer morphs) along with what the genetics are.
There are a ton of males you could use. It all depends on how much money you want to spend. You can buy a pastel yellowbelly male pretty cheap. Pewter (pastel x cinnamon) are around the same price as a good bumble bee. Any multigene male will work....

ok so a muli gene codominate bred with a normal female will give me both of the base co-dominates??? that i guess is myquestion

Aaron is correct.
No single morph produces multiple gene offspring, you need a combo to do that. As far as what combos ? Well, there are two gene, three gene, four gene, five gene and I believe even a six gene combo out there somewhere. Each of these animals are capable of producing offspring for each of the genes it carries. If you breed two combos together, you can even produce combinations of their genes and an entirely different morph.
And yes, if you breed a double co-dominate male to a normal female, they will produce offspring of both genes he carries.

While you aren't guaranteed that both genes will be passed on, but it is possible.
