I don't get the pricing on Dinkers
So I have been looking on fauna and see a lot of Dinkers going for $325 - $400. I don't get the price at all. You can find a lot of adult normal females for $75 - $125. Why the increase in cost just because the pattern is nicer or the colors are nicer? If it it turns out to be nothing but a bright regular is it worth the added cost?
Re: I don't get the pricing on Dinkers
Dinkers are all about chasing new morphs. People will pay a lot for a dinker so that if it proves out, they get a new morph that will sell for loads of money (in theory). It's all a gamble and if it's just a nice normal then it doesn't pay for itself literally but if you like its unique look then some people think it's worth it.

No risk, no reward right? Just didn't see it in the pricing. I guess if you have a some extra money to throw around for a what if then why not. I guess technically she could still pay for herself depending on what you throw at her.

Picking what normal you choose to breed in your projects should be just as important as the morphs.
It is for me anyway :)
Good point! So how many times do you breed before you realize that it is just a bright normal, or that you just don't have the right genetic trait being bred to her?
