IF (emphasis on IF) I eventually breed my 1.0 '09 Pastel, what would (hopefully) produce the most "bang for my buck"? I realize not many people would do a breed trade for a male pastel, and honestly I would rather keep everything under my own roof, so l would be buying the female.

Long story short, what is the best way to produce the most desirable morphs possible with my male pastel, without paying an arm and a leg for the female? Is it better to buy as a hatchling or to find a proven breeder or at least breeding weight? Just want to get everyones opinions of what you would do in this situation. Also, what are the average costs to breed a single clutch? Again, this would be down the road and only after tons of research and preparing myself for it properly. I wouldn't be breeding to try to turn a profit, but simply want to experience the wonders of what these morph breedings can produce.

Look forward to hearing everyones input!
