Hi Brandon, you should look at the characteristics of your female and analyze what would be a good project for her. Is she super clean, is she high contrast, does she have tons of underlying color, maybe a unique pattern, etc, etc. A very clean normal or Pastel with little color would not go well with an Albino, IMO. Most likely not much color will be passed to the Hets and ultimately passed to the Albinos her Hets create.

When working on Pastel Albinos for example you want to use Pastels with tons of underlying color, that color hopefully will be passed on to the Hets and on to the Albino babies. Again, it all depends on what you're trying to achieve.

The same applies for Salmons and Hypos. Chose a male that will go well with your females characteristics. Would a high contrast Salmon go well with her or a very light/clean Salmon or a colorful Hypo Pastel? Selective breeding is how you decide to improve or where you want a certain project to go.

Say you want to create colorful Albinos or Sunglows, you want to look for pieces of the puzzle that will add to what your trying to achieve. Whether it be a Coral'ish Sunglow or a High Contrast Sunglow or whatever your ultimate goal may be.

Don't just chose any morph or just any individual, but try choosing the right pairing for your specific project. Keep in mind that time spent during selection is not only reflected in the project litter itself, but also financially. It's the difference between Salmons that could take 4-6 months to sell for $200-$300 and Salmons that would fly off the racks at $600-$750, with deposits before their even ready to ship.
