An eclipse can be fairly dark too. Not like an img but still dark.
Hypomotley female and a normal male. Would be 1/4 motley 1/4 Hypo 1/4 hypomotley and 1/4 normal. I personally wouldn't find use for normal male from a business stand point unless it was high quality. You can find some really high quality normals that go for over 400. Those are the pastel lines you see people selling.
I have an adult female that would be ready to breed at any point. But she's butt ugly if you are talking about breeding quality. Personally I think she's pretty but her normal babies would be 40$ tops.
