    Decisions decisions...

    So some of you may know... I am getting a spider, a lesser, and a pastel.

    I was hoping for a male lesser to make lesser bees and lesser pastels...

    However...

    The clutch of lessers hatched and there were only 2, both are female.

    So now I will have 3 females...

    What male would you choose to put with these girls (within a budget of around 500 or less?)

    Another option is to switch the spider female for a male for lesser bees and bumbles.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks

    This is only a thought but I would get a nice super pastel, they have never ending benefits to a collection.

    Re: Decisions decisions...

    I didn't think about that...

    Super pastel male to those females would make a:
    Pastel lesser
    Bumble bee
    Super pastel

    So what is the benefit to using a super over a regular pastel in this situation?

    i was gonna say def get a bumble bee but it would conflict with the spider.... so i would go for a lesser or a pinstripe... u might even be able to find a lemon blast in that budget which would be awesome- kingpins, spinner blast, killer blast stuff like that...

    Hey, have you considered adding cinnies? I suggest looking for a Pewter male. Adding a pewter male to your projects can really spice things up and bring out triple morphs. With that you will still be able to produce many great morphs like bees, pewter spiders, super pastel cinny, lesser pastel cinnys, and etc....just a suggestion.

    The benefit in my opinion would come later, I would invest in a super pastel male instead of adding a pastel, you would thank me later, with what can be done with a few double gene females in your future projects.

    Can you explain the benefit of using a super pastel male? I just have no idea at this moment.
