Thank you all so much for responding! This community has always seemed so kind, I hope I can make a little more time to interact when things settle down again. ;u;

it seems like YB is a recurring theme, something u really want. i would go with a YB het Pied combo - either with Enchi, Fire or Pastel. the YB will give u chance to hit Pumpkin Pieds, Another Pastel can yield Killer Pieds, Enchi and Fire Pieds are gorgeous, and u win the lotto if u hit a combo Pied. even if u don't hit a Pied, a combo from these pairings will be hot.

a Banana het Pied is still pretty expensive but maybe prices will drop as your girl matures. maybe u will get more BP's than just another male.

Very much so! I actually wanted a pumpkin pie initially, and went to her breeder for one, but it turned out the supposed pumpkin was a specter pied and so I searched a bit more and went for pastel. They gave me quite a discount, and Cinnamon Roll has been the best starting ball I could ask for, so no harm done BUT I am curious if she might have YB due to the previous mixup. Her parents were specter male het for piebald and a female super pastel YB pied, so I have this tiny hope that maybe she has it in her. Her interesting color bands (seen easier as a small baby) made me curious too.

Those are all wonderful morphs, I will be sure to look into those! Enchi has interested me for awhile, as has fire, I might have to look closer into them now that I can plan properly again. ;u; I had no idea banana hets are so expensive! I might have to put that one off for awhile longer, or perhaps make my own hets in the meantime, and I do hope I can get more when this job gets going! Then I'll be right back here asking what female I should get

Thank you so much! Banana has interested me since first seeing one in person, I can hardly believe how lovely they are. o: Hopefully you got some nice pastels from that bunch!

I'd be interested to see what other possibilities there are besides just my black pastel het pied male. He's a stud though so I hate to replace him. Like Ax01 said, pumpkin pied would be super cool.
Nice job on managing to find one! I've been poking around and not too many black pastels het for pied seem to show, but the ones that do aren't as expensive as I first expected. What sort of hatchies did you manage to get on that pair?
