Thanks in advance!

Will the new addition be for a pet or breeding? I like the female.

I want to breed them in the "not too far" future.

i would choose the female, for a simple and pragmatic reason:

since males are cheaper and can be bred to several females, it makes sense to invest a bit more in the genetics of the male and breed him to two or 3 genetically less fancy females.

the market for normals and basic single-gene BPs and for hets is quite saturated, prices are really low, and are falling from season to season. and males that fit into that lowest category are least useful for breeding.

The female because she looks the best and the most logical reason for breeding reasons. Unless the male is very unique, a normal male is a bad choice for breeding. There's already a huge influx of unwanted male normals. No need to perpetuate it.

I agree. Get a female.

Thanks for the answers! I thought the same. But other these practical reasons, what do you think about these babies?

nice looking, healthy, but i dont see a morph ^^

im saving up and have a new job now, when im properly settled in and have enough on my account i plan to get started with single, possibly double gene females, and later at least a double gene male, possibly triple gene. just very small hobby breeding, at least thats the plan, but if i do it i want nice clutches with variety and nice combos. and thats actually quite affordable, i intend to spend maybe 300-400 euros for each of the two females and 500+ for the male.
