However, I am NOT hoping that I get a lesser spinner blast because it just isn't possible*. Only one of the two sires can fertilize any given egg, as Heather said.
Another reason you may want to use more than one male is if you want to cover your bases in case your first-choice male doesn't quite get the job done.
* Would it be possible, though, to get a chimera of both sires?By which I mean that each egg would be independently fertilized, then fuse?
