    Choosing a male
    I am trying to decide which of these two normal males to breed to my dinker girl. You can view the males side by side here

    http://s1327.beta.photobucket.com/us...b267e.jpg.html

    The male on the left is much larger (1200g range) and has standard patterns, whereas the other has a much reduced, brighter pattern and is about 700g.

    This next link is a picture of the dinker.

    Her pattern is crazy, almost resembling a leopard or jungle... who knows! Thats why I was trying to figure out if it would be best to go with the reduced pattern male or not. What do you guys think? Fingers crossed her head spots are genetic and not some incubation anomaly!

    Honestly, I wouldn't personally put her to a normal. I would put her to a morph of some sort and see what her pattern does to the morph. If nothing happens, at least you have morphs out of it.

    That is my personal opinion tho...

    She's really pretty. I'd put her to the one on the right because he looks different; different pattern. I would prove her out with a normal before putting her with a morph personally

    I would put her to a morph as well. At minimum a pastel.

    thats one beautiful girl. like someone already mentioned pairing her with a morph would surely prove if she has something more going.

    If you are going to put them with her, put them both with her? 1 3 days on 4 days off, as soon as 1 comes out put the 2nd 1 in for 3 days, then they ALL get a days break after those 3 days :)
