Thank you.

This is a relatively easy one so I am not going to give away the parents yet.

Hint. There are only three genes at play here and they are all represented. No normals yeah!

I'm seeing Enchi, Pinstripe and Mojave. #6 is throwing me off a little because it almost looks like there is butter/lesser in there.

That's 2 out of three. Not Mojave. Not Lesser. Last one is a single gene animal and it is BEL complex.

Mystic?

Close enough. Phantom.

Anyone want to name them in order?

Pinstripe, mystic, enchi

Yes. But now the actual animals. I am hoping there is an Enchi expert on here that can confirm my suspicions.

my guesses...


1. Enchi Pinstripe
2. very nice Pinstripe
3. Enchi Pinstripe
4. Phantom Pinstripe - it has the thicker pinstripes and jigsaw pattern, but the head and eyestripe confuses me. better to tell/confirm after some sheds.
5. Enchi
6. very clean and reduced Enchi Phantom
7. Phantom


congrats! they look great.

What I think...

1-3 are Enchi Phantom Pins.
4 Phantom Pin,
5 Enchi,
6 Enchi Phantom,
7 Phantom

That said I am waiting for someone more familiar with Enchi to pipe in. I am very happy with the pattern reduction, especially on the Enchi Phantom. I am very interested in peoples honest opinions on this clutch so I know whether I should repeat the pairing next season. You will not hurt my feelings if you do not like them. I tend to like things that others don't.

Ohh....picture 7...to me is beautiful. If you want to sell him on let me know!

LOL. I think you have good taste. That in my opinion is one of the best single gene phantoms I have ever seen. I am very torn about this clutch. Believe it or not there is only one girl which is the enchi. She will probably get held back unless an enchi person gives me a reason to not. My rule is to only keep one if any males in a clutch and I really like a couple of the males. On top of all that is across the board I am beginning to consistently produce Supers, ALS, and three gene animals. I normally wholesale but this does not work with the more expensive animals. Wholesale is running about 50% of retail. On a $60 animal that is of average quality it does not really matter to me. On $300+ animal or one that is very high quality wholesale is like being robbed. It is not a problem I expected to have this year to this degree. This was not supposed to be a problem till next year. LOL. Odds are I will end up having to retail some out. I hate the thought of a really nice animal ending up in a pet store and would rather it lands with a collector that would appreciate what they got. I guess I could go ahead and put a site up or put them up on Morph market. I really did not want to deal with the shipping yet but I guess it is a good problem to have. I am not at all new to business in general, but I am new to the retail side of this one. Any suggestions from people that have been in this in-between state would be appreciated.

Depending where you are...im UK...to transport animals here you need a defra licence. I used to run a tropical fish store. For sales through classifieds etc being delivered by you then it isn't really necessary. Ring round a few couriers and find a defra licenced one. Find a good poly box supplier and heat pads. It's really that simple. Mark boxes with live animal labels. And obviously opt for the fastest possible delivery available. Hope that helps. A Facebook group i created was one of the main tools I used to sell my fish and dry goods. As well as my shop obviously ;-)

Yeah, I'm in the US and I believe everything is similar but not quite as regulated. If I can get Fed-Ex to pick up from work it may not be as big a deal as I'm turning it into.

When I started my business I operated out of a rented double garage. The couriers I used collected from me. Just have a ring around. Maybe worth checking what courier an online seller uses in your area.

I sent pictures of the clutch to the breeder that produced the Enchi. He confirmed that the first three are triple gene. The odds gods were truly in my favor. To the best of my knowledge there are none of these (Enchi Phantom Pin) Spirits for sale anywhere and I have only ever seen one picture of this morph. Guidance from other breeders on how to price these guys?

Congrats jodan!
