    Re: Single or Multi Gene "Powerhouse male" ?

    Hello all, I'm looking for your thoughts and opinions on whether to purchase a single gene or multi-gene "powerhouse" male for next years breeding plans. To be more specific, if you had to choose between a single gene male that was $500 dollars because it's a newer morph, or a 3-4 gene male that is the same price but has a bunch of common morphs....which would you choose and why? Just in case it would influence your decision, I will have the following females ready to go next year.

    .1 Mojave
    .1 Spinner
    .1 Pastel Enchi
    .1 Yellow Belly

    The mojave and spinner have already been paired this year with my only male (pastel) and are developing follicles nicely, the other two are just over 1000g so I decided to hold off until next year on them.
    Depends on your plans too. Pure hobbyist or are you planning on trying to make this into a business at some point as well? If you're just looking to make beautiful creations for you to enjoy and help pay for your hobby go with what strikes your fancy. If you want to try to see some return go with the new gene if it's something that you both like and think others will or may like. Also, 99.9% of the time new genes are BIG $ (unless your best friend proved it out haha) so you might want the 3 gene until you make a name for yourself and can both create and sell product. otherwise you end up with lots of mouths to house and feed. Not fair to you or your animals.
