    What is a Good Gene That isn't being Over-used in the Breeding World??

    I am thinking about purchasing a female in the near future but if im buying a hatchling now then i need to prepare for two to three years from now before breeding. So what is a good gene to get into that doesnt have a lot of interest as of yet but has potential?

    There are quite a few, depends on how much you're looking to spend. IMO, there is not nearly enough quality granite stuff. The nice granite combos I've seen have been amazing, but I've seen much more completely unimpressive stuff that I can barely make out the granite.

    That's a million dollar question isn't it?

    The only "good gene" that I can say is priceless is enchi... Color and pattern changer... A lot still left to do.. Quite a few people are working with them, but I don't care. Their combos are sick, and I want one! Or 5..

    Some people can't tell the difference between enchis and normals... The enchi combos are definitely different .

    I suggest you think of a cool project. Look at how you can produce that combo, and go for it. Buy the ingredients and just do it.

    I'd agree with an enchi, by themselves they aren't too spectacular but the way they can change other morphs is really impressive.

    Sometime's going by pictures online it can be hard to tell the difference. Hatch out a clutch and see them next to their normal siblings and the difference is very much obvious. Love me some Enchis!

    I'm not sure how often it is being used, but I do like the desert ghost (recessive) gene. I've only seen pictures, but the adults look outstanding!

    Even if it has a lot of interest, it's not widespread: Orange Dream. But I'd rather buy Fire Females and then an OD male Orange Dream Fire

    Desert females are either dying while laying eggs or are laying only slugs. No one has had a successful clutch from a desert female. The belief now is that the females will never reproduce. As much as I love deserts, I will not be working with them. I might pick up a girl down the line as a pet only.

    Lyfoti05 said desert ghost. Not desert.

    To the OP. I would suggest busting out an old morph and trying it with the new stuff. You don't hear much about sable anymore. Just as an example. Or maybe grab a breedable sable female and breed her to something new like a male orange dream. Then you will have something truly unique.

    Desert ghost is a excellent choice if you can afford it
    Being recessive means it will hold value longer and not much has been done with it yet.
