    Need help in picking new breeder female
    Hey guys,

    I am about to pick from 3 breeder females to choose from that will pair up with my male mojave and pinstripe. Out of the three which should I choose as the most valuable for future projects? Cinnamon, Congo Pastel, and Spider. Thanks!

    buy what you like.

    but i never heared about "congo pastel", are they are thing, really? i guess they are just pastels.

    other genes you might consider are calico/sugar, lesser/butter, black pastel (i prefer them over cinnamon), enchi, fire, yellowbelly. these, together with the 5 you already mentioned, are the basics, at least when it comes to codominant / dominant.

    then, there is this article:

    i guess you will breed the pinstripe male and mojave male until you hit some double-gene males with pinstripe or mojave in them, and then they become less useful because its fast and easy to get a male hatchling up to breeding size.

    EDIT: to decide which of the 3 is best, we would need good pictures of all of them, so that we can judge if they are good examples of the morph.

    congo is a dominant gene founded by Vin russo, it tends to be a clean up gene. If it it actually a congo pastel, I would say that would be my choice out of the 3, but you might want to look at other examples of congo pastels and make sure it is not just a pastel.

    Pick the female for the combos you like best. If you like cinnamon mojaves or cinnapins, go with the cinnapin. If you like mojave spiders or spinners better, then go with the spider.

    If you do not want the chance of trainwreck babies, I would go for the...
    Cinnamon. The Cinnamon Hypo is amazing.
