I like the idea of having a super specter better than a super stripe. However I am really torn because the length of the project and the security of it would be much more difficult with super specter in mind.
Option 1. Specter route : Specters are said to be the most difficult morph to distinguish. I certainly do not think I could pick one out of a pile of normals. I would have to start with a female specter. I would wait 3 years then breed her to a male albino. Then I would try to pick out specter hets hopefully getting a female specter het albino the first go around and the male in the second clutch (that is if I can pick them out at all). Then I would take the 1.1 Specter het Albino and pair them and hope for an albino super specter. All my dreams would be shattered if the breeder of the original female specter picked me out a nice expensive normal in error!
Option 2. Super Stripe route: Super stripe males are just a little more expensive than specter females so I choose him. I would also have to buy an albino female and wait 3 years for her to grow up. Then I pair the super stripe with the albino and get 1/2 yb and 1/2 specter all het albino. I should be able to pick out the yb so all the remaining would be specter. Depending on the clutch outcome I could hold back a 0.1 yb het albino and 1.1 Specter het albino. In 3 years I breed both girls to the male specter het albino and should get to choose who I like better in person Super Stripe Albino or Super Specter Albino.
Hmmmmmm. I think I will go with door number 2 wouldn't you!
Now what to do with that dang pinstripe! (BTW that Mojave Enchi Pin does nothing for me. Does not stand out enough as a 3 gene critter in my opinion)
