Thanks for this suggestion Raul!Originally Posted by West Coast Jungle
I would alternate all your codoms during breeding season. just because you pair two codoms doesnt mean you will hit the combo. online we only see the sucess stories and not the many misses.
Try them all, some males dont breed well and if you just do one you might get nothing! If you bred two codom males you could get several combos. there are no guarantees so a back up plan is always a good idea.
Now if you were working with recessives that would be different because if you wouldnt know whos the sire and if they are het or not etc....
When it comes to codoms I say pull all the stops, you got nothing to loose and everything to gain.
Just cause you have a morph doesnt mean half its babies will be that morph. I know someone that bred a lesser to a normal this year and got 7 normals, see why a backup codom cant hurt.
I also know someone who bought a very expensive male codom 6 years ago and it never sired one clutch. There are no guarantees, anyone breeding for a while can tell you that.
I have 4 girls I'll be breeding this coming season and I've been going over and over my plans for pairings based on patterns, colors, wishes, dreams, desires for the future, etc. It was good to be reminded that the morph gods and goddesses don't always smile and so with my 2 normals I'll hit them with all the co-dom males I have. Very cool. Awesome, in fact!! Thanks a bunch!
