hyped morphs

so im sorry i have nothing against them i love them but i must say how come every time some one posts something along the lines * im new to breeding what morphs should i get* i see about 3 lines down some one says pastels and spiders bumblebees are awzomezz or something like that :) its just crazy everyone and their moms sister has suggested bumblebees sooo on this topic id like to hear wat everyones most over spoken about designer morphs

Why?

because those morphs are staple genes that are needed in almost everything.

plus they are cheap, easy to come by, and aren't recessive genes so they are great for beginners to start breeding with.

Sure there are cooler morphs out there, but for approximately $100 you can't beat a spider or pastel.

no im not saying they arnt wonderfull animals like i said they are one of my favorites honestly but i feel they are overly suggested spiders and pastels are cheap and awsome but why are they suggested so much more than lets say lemon blast or spinners
?

because those are combo morphs... single gene animals are much cheaper and easier to come by.

Sure you could get a pinstripe and a pastel... or a pinstripe and a spider, but honestly the pinstripe has less potential in my opinion. (and aren't as abundant in the market)

i guess we will have to agree to disagree on the potential of pinstripes vs the spider even tho dragonboys lesserbee is the sexiest thing ive ever seen also i was just wondering what morphs people would like to suggested over the common bumblebee sorta thing

It all really is down to personal taste... and budget. There are some really cool recessive and multi gene BP's out there but they break the bank. I'm working on a clown project. I'd like to produce some firefly clowns and mojave clowns... maybe even a mojave spider clown!

The potential for any morph is pretty much endless, with all the possible combos to be made. That being said, I almost never suggest someone start off with spiders or pastels, unless they are asking about a specific, nice female. Not the best way to start now, even working on a budget, if the intentions are to breed and sell, IMO. It's not easy to sell things that are so abundant.

where are those $100 spiders or pastels at? most of the ones ive seen are in the $200s to $300s

I got my male spider for $125, and male pastels are usually around $75-$125. Females do cost more though

i was guessing it was for males and not in general.. but most of the cheap pastels are browned out well at least the 1s ive seen
