Why would spend the money on a lower quality animal and then go with the chance that hey, maybe it will give you a gem eventually. :/

Anyone who breeds Enchi's will probably tell you the same. Sorry but who really buys ugly animals to breed? Not many. Just about everyone looks for what they think looks good or the best. Yes some people will look for the cheapest price available. Yet how many "ugly" animals can you find? Look at any ugly or phenomenal enchi's parents and you will see it's true. I have seen the UGLIEST Enchis consistently throw out superb babies.
I to look for the best quality in my animals, but unfortunately that does NOT guarantee quality looking babies. "Really nice enchi's" do not continually produce more really nice enchis over the ugly breeders. It's not a maybe or by chance issue. It is very common.
