In my case it was easy. I love anything Spider, so the plan was to start making Spider combos and keep any that made the cut. Unfortunately, early on I made the rookie mistake of getting "male heavy" so I was only going to be keeping females. I started out with a male Spider and my first keeper was a few female Spiders. Once they got up to size I put them with my Pastel and kept a Bumblebee. Next keeper was a Butterbee. The following year I held back a Stingerbee. I broke my rule here and also kept an Enchi Butter because one day I want a Super Enchi, and also held back a male Lesserbee because he rocked. My final keepers were from 2013. I kept a female Spider Nazca, two male Lesser Yellowbelly Nazca's, and a male Yellowbelly Nazca. < I kept all those males because the Nazca was a complete surprise.
This coming season I'll be pairing up one of the Nazca boys to mom (Yellowbelly Nazca) in the hopes of getting a Super. I'll probably be pairing up the Stingerbee again (no eggs from her this year) and either the Bumblebee or Butterbee. Not sure what males to put to them though...
My advice...don't end up male heavy! Seems like everyone does.
