So I've been thinking a lot about adding new genes, focusing down the ones I have, etc. and trying to create more direction to my collection and breeding efforts. I think there are 2 types of breeders / collectors:

-There are some breeders out there that are kind of Pokemon style 'gotta catch em all' and every time there's a new gene they pick it up. Their collection is basically a mash up of lots of different kinds of genes and each year they just pick and choose which ones to pair up to mix up the results they get and make a wide range of combos.

-There are others who have a collection very focused around a few particular morphs. They have certain combos in mind to hold back and buy and don't travel outside of those bounds. Even when new genes come out they don't worry about picking them up and just continue doing their thing and selectively breeding and holding back for the best possible example of the few genes they do work with.

So my question here is this: What kind of breeder / collector are you? Do you have lots of mixed genes, different colors, light and dark, pattern, etc. or do you have multiple animals with the same small set of genes mixed together differently or constantly looking to hold back better examples of the morphs you do have? If you have a more 'focused' collection, what are the genes you choose to keep focused around?
