    Do anyone avoid these combos...?

    So i couldnt really come up with a good title for this thread bc its kinda hard to explain my question.

    Does anyone avoid certain morph combos bc it would be hard to determine what the offspring are?

    For example. I love the look of vanilla creams (fire x vanilla) but i would be afraid i wouldnt be able to tell the babies apart. For example: do Pastel Fires look way different than Vanilla Fires? (or any morph, those are just an example). I feel like since theyre so similar itd be really hard to determine what the babies are. Also even just them by themselves, vanillas and fires look pretty similar, but are there some guranteed ways to tell them apart?

    Another combo that came to mind would be a butter x lesser BEL. If i made one of these then bred it to a normal how would i be able to tell which are butters and which are lessers? (I personally feel theyre the same thing but i know others dont, so i couldnt sell babies as an unknown is what i was thinking). Also once again, just for example, do pastel butters look that much different from pastel lessers?

    Im just trying to get people's opinions on these things BEFORE i start breeding combos that wouldnt be "useful" or "desireable" for lack of better terms. I do LOVE vanilla creams though, so id probably just get one as a pet even if it didnt work into my breeding plans lol.

    This is an internal conflict brewing in the depths of my own mind as well. A bridge I will eventually cross and learn from experience because I absolutely love vanilla creams!

    Personally, I avoid those kind of combos.
    I'm doing a MojavexLesser pairing this winter. No mistaking whos who with that pairing. And in addition of avoiding confusion with IDing, I want to avoid the bug eyes. So that's my story with avoiding certain pairings.

    See the problem is im not really a huge mojo fan though :/

    I would like a hypo mojo (like jinx's lol) to put to my lesser and OG when they get up to size BUT i kinda like the idea of a super lesser. Like alot haha. But besides hypo mojos, im partial to almost anything hypo, theres not a whole lot of mojo combos that i really like.

    This problem can be solved by using supers. If I was going for vanilla creams for instance, I'd use either a super fire or super vanilla as one of the parents. It's impossible to confuse a vanilla cream with either fire or vanilla. If you use a super fire bred to a vanilla, all non creams are fire. Likewise if you bred a super vanilla to a fire, all non creams would be vanilla.

    I think the concern here is breeding the vanilla cream to a pastel. You could get vanilla pastels and fire flies. Is it easy to distinguish one from another?

    Yes exactly. Not just pastels, but any combo really.

    I understand how you could gurantee making vanilla creams with your method John, but that wasnt really my concern. As joe said, id like to know how hard it is to tell their combos apart.

    Being able to tell the babies apart in subtitle morphs is one of the reasons I am putting off those projects untill I have my own house and plenty of space to be able to raise the babies up until I know for sure what they are. But I am looking for a firefly female to go to my future killer bee male to get my foot into the subtitle morphs.
