What to get to start out?

[zach_24_90]

alright so here it goes. i want to have a variety at first. what if i got.. Lesser, pastel, Bumble Bee, and Pinstripe. now the questin is does anything in there sound redundant as far as genetics go? and which ones would you reccommend buying male and which ones female as far as options go in the future?

[Skittles1101]

I'd get male pastel and female all the rest

That's just me though.

[zach_24_90]

If that are your options for starting the collection, I would get bumblebee male, and females, depends on what you prefer and what you want to work with..you can pair him with more then one female, so you gonna have more chances on hitting those 3 dominant/codominant combinations.

Your chances would be like this.
male pastel:
lesser=
25%Normal
25%Lesser
25%Pastel
25%Lesser Pastel

bee=
12.5%Normal
25%Pastel
12.5%Spider
25%Bumble Bee
12.5%Super Pastel
12.5%Killer Bee

pin=

I think a male bee might be the choice to make just open up the odds, though MY choice would be all four females Takes them a couple years to get grown and ready. Then find a really nice male or two to pair with all four girls in a year or so. You never know, males might be a lot cheaper in a year or two compared to current pricing

[zach_24_90]

ok so after seeing that im liking all the odds with the male bee a lot better what do you guys think?
