if breeding goes well, you can hold back maybe some double-gene stuff, be it super pastel or pastel lesser.
and you can sell all the other hatchlings and maybe one of your current males.
and then you can buy cheaper male hatchlings that do have two genes, pastave or bee or lemonblast or firefly are not expensive anymore. also a male visual albino is inexpensive to get, for your het girl, a visual male to het female pairing doubles your chances to get visuals, and the rest will be 100% hets instead of 66% possible hets.
and then next season you will already produce lots of nice two-gene stuff, maybe some triple gene combos, more stuff that sells well and more nice holdbacks.
thats what my battle plan would be with this starting stock. you can give your next season some real drive with 2-gene males that cost less than 300 dollars each, and you have good chances to make that money if you get lucky and get eggs this season.
no matter if you want to grow your collection, or if you want to keep it below 10 adult BPs permanently, trying to improve genetic quality from season to season really pays off.
