undecided: pied vs. firefly

[milktank]

need help guys! im stuck getting undecided on which morph to choose... if you were to choose which one is cooler? Firefly or Pied morph? disregarding the price...

Pied is cool, Firefly is better for breeding. Its all personal preference.

Pieds are great looking pets but more difficult to get cool combos when breeding. Firefly is beautiful and can breed anything and produce cool babies. I would say Pied if a Pet and Firefly if planning to breed.

Really? A pied has been reduced to pet status these days? Never thought I'd see the day. :-(

I'd say my enchi pin pied is pretty darned cool looking as a combo.

I wonder if Justin Kobylka and Jeff Holloway know all the pieds and combos they're making with them don't have potential any longer now that pieds are only valued at pet status?

I didnt say anything about them being pet status, they are really cool, one day maybe I would work on breeding them, but me I personally would reather have a firefly right now. So that is why I vote that way.

I think what they meant by "pet status" was that because the pied is recessive, the potential for creating pied combos is much less than the potential for firefly combos would be. No one is saying the pieds aren't worth anything, just that they're more difficult, per se, to get results with.

That being said, id go for the firefly myself. I'm not a huge fan of pied and pied combos but I love fire combos.

They said, get a pied if a pet, a firefly for breeding.

I guess I come from an era where there was great satisfaction in working hard for an end result.

The era after is used to instant gratification and easier results. That's why recessive tend to hold their value longer.

I'm with you Robin I believe the Pied is a must, a foundation animal, gotta have the recessive's also not only the co-dom and dom instant gratification animals. Me, I can't wait to produce an Axanthic Pied and Albino Pied gotta have them. Remember this Pied's are still King.

Nothing in my collection gets more "oohs" and "ahs" from people new to BPs than my pied.

Pieds Pieds Pieds. I can sell pieds before they ever even hatch. Seriously, I had two people waiting for my girl to lay and was willing to put down a deposit. If you have a good quality pied, it will be much more in demand than a firefly. I have both, but the pieds are more popular. I wish I had a 100 of them.

Also, if you are planning on breeding, get the pied first. Because it is recessive, you may want to pair it up with other morphs to get those morphs (like fire) het pieds. So, doing combination pieds takes a lot longer. However, it is worth every minute, IMHO.
