i don't know much about the pied marker thing. in my opinion a poss. het male is really taking a chance. for a quicker test you could pair him up with a 100% het female or a visual pied. but as randy said 100% het males are coming down in price and to me it doesn't make sense to use a female's breeding cycle to try and prove the male! alot of het morph males are coming down in price, it is the female hets that will cost you!
