Holdbacks & Growing Your Collection

[Royal Hijinx]

And..... Holding back more than one male of the morph you desire to breed is a wise decision. One may not make it to breeding size, and even if he does, the females you plan on pairing him with may not think he's so "suave'.

If I hit more than one male Sugar FireFly, at least 2 will be held back.

I agree with having extra males in case something happens (death, lack of performance, etc...), but I personally would not keep 2 of the same thing. For all of my non-recessive projects I have a primary male and a backup male laid out. I make sure I am happy with either pairing, and all is well. That backup male may be the cleanup hitter on more than one project.
