It's not surprising that you'd find conflicting information because there is no single right way to go about the breeding process. There are some basic guidelines that most folks follow...and you'll find that like minds tend to cluster together in groups...so the majority of folks who hang out at BP.net may primarily use one set of guidelines, while the majority of folks hanging out at another site may do something different. Either may work just fine.

In the end, it comes down to the keeper/breeder being able to sift through all the various info and picking out what makes the most sense to them. I'm not at all saying there is anything wrong with asking....I'm just suggesting that anyone expecting a concrete answer may not find what they're looking for.
