One of those "What Should I Pair Her With" Threads

Sorry Draig. She's a visual, so that means the hatchlings will be 100% hets, regardless of who the father is. The pied is, of course, also a visual.

If I put her with the OG male, that would be the least dollar return--a clutch of all orange ghosts. For reasons that still mystify me, orange ghosts have dropped to insanely low prices, much lower than other double-recessives.

My two top picks were the Lesser, and the Pied--but with the pied being unproven, it's much riskier than using the lesser. I'm not even sure what a Lesser/OG looks like, I've never seen a photo. With the pied, the entire clutch are double hets, but with the lesser, only half the clutch will be double genes. The cinnie hadn't occurred to me, although I personally WANT OG/Cinnies. It's been very hard to find pricing on double-genes.

My pied male is my smallest breeding male this year--he's only just made 500 grams now. I have a Lesser holdback that I'm feeding up rapidly to try to get up to weight, just to provide backup for his proven lesser father.

Oh! Im sorry. I thought you were talking about a het. In that case i agree with you. Go with the lesser or the pied. It would be cool tho if you could make ghost cinnamons :)

I voted for the lesser, but I'd put all the codoms with her if I were you just for fun! :gj:

Hatchlings from the Lesser would be either Lesser Het OG or Normal Het OG. That way if you plan on selling them, you can sell them in groups like 1.0 Lesser Het OG and 0.2 OGs.

I agree! Lesser/butter ghosts are so beautiful :gj:

Actually breed it to a pastel and a lesser then breed those offspring to get Lesser POGs

I would pair her with the pied or the lesser.

Lesser it is...thanks for all of the input and help, guys. ;)

I would have went the yellowbelly route just to see what the ghost gene does to the ivory... but that would not maximize your returns but I would by a yellowbelly het hypo
