Enchis....your thoughts

Well I went to the Tampa repticon on Saturday will the intent on purchasing a Firefly female. Only saw 2 in the whole show. They were very nice looking animals, but I came home with a female Enchi. Enchi was really not even on my wish list, but this was the nicest one there.

My question is, what are your thoughts on the Enchis in general? I have a few years until she breeds, but I'm thinking a Pastave or Bumblebee for first breeding....or maybe Pied.

Hi,

It took me a long time to finally get an enchi.

But seeing what it brings to combo's - even recessives like pied, albino etc finally tipped the balance for me.

It even makes a champagne combo I like. :P

I think enchis are awesome. I was originally going to put mine with my lesser pastel, but after seeing a albino enchi, Im going to put her with my lavender. I also like hypo enchis and enchi clowns

I believe it is one of the most necessary genes for any collection! I love enchi!

I love enchi and what it does. Good call picking one up!

Yeah, I keep telling myself that, but I'm still thinking about those Fireflies! There's always next time...

I am still looking for my Enchi. I want one so badly, I love what they look like when you find a great example, and what they do to combo's is ridiculous! But I am very picky, and so far when I have money I cannot find an enchi to suit me. When I'm flat broke, everybody has enchi's I'd buy. :rolleyes:

Firefly's are sweet, that is true. But an exceptional enchi doesn't happen often, and if you got a good one you will always be glad you did.

Get both! Fireflies are tough to do right :gj:. Enchis are too, but you'll find a nice enchi before you find the nicest firefly :gj:. I think enchis have more going on than a first glance allows. They look cooler as they age which is more than you can say about almost every other morph :gj:. They combo well with almost everything, including recessives as well as morphs that normally don't combo well. There's a super form that can boost color and reduce the pattern which most people love :P.

I don't know if she is exceptional or not, I'll try to get some pics up soon. She was for sure to nicest I saw at the show.

Well your making me feel better. I went to buy a Firefly and left with something that really wasn't in my breeding plans. After talking with the breeders and telling them the males I have to work with, she was big on Enchi or Woma. I'm still not sold on a Woma.
