Considering A New Addition

[Neon Aurora]

So I can't quite decided what I want to do next breeding season. Let me explain my collection, and then maybe some of you can help me decide.

Out of my collection of eight, I only have three females and one male that I will consider breeding next season, and even then I do not want to breed all of them.

Male, Rainwater Albino Eclipse (firewater cross)

Female, SHTCT het Eclipse (not het albino) (Sykes line)

Female, Rainwater albino (Gecko Genetics Tang x Firewater and Gecko Genetics Tang x Sykes Line Tang)

Female, SHTCT het Eclipse and Rainwater albino (parents were the above male and the SHTCT het eclipse female)

I definitely want to pair (male rainwater albino eclipse) x (female SHTCT het eclipse, rainwater albino) so I can hopefully produce some decent typhoons.
I don't think I ant to use the tang het eclipse (second one) next season, but I included her just in case. I definitely want to use the RW female. Now, obviously I only have one male. I'm thinking about adding another one, specifically one that would go well with the RW female. But I don't know what, or if it is necessary.
I'm thinking a raining red stripe, a RW sunglow, a bold RW, or something like that. I mean, I'm thinking it might be fun to work on some pure RW albinos since I have one. But I'm not sure.

I know answers to these threads are normally "it depends on what you're looking to produce", but I'm pretty open. I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, specifically for my RW female.

Let me know what you think. All input welcome.

Hmm, might be nice to keep a line that isn't het Eclipse (with the RW female), in which case, go for a male that is RW, no hets, with polygenetic traits you like (tang, bold, or redstripes, as you mentioned... anything that catches your eye).

If you're going for Eclipse in everything, not sure there's a reason for another male, unless you find a RW Eclipse male more eyecatching than your current one.

I quite like redstripes. It's so hard to find what I'm looking for, though! Seems like people don't work with RWs as much as bells or trempers. I wish I could go to a reptile show, but there are none near me ever.

You should make your own thread for that. But.. it could be a blizzard or a patternless, it's pretty hard to tell them apart.

Back to my thread... I found one I really like. =) A male raining redstripe with quite nice color. The red in his stripe isn't amazing, but he has a really nice pattern and bright colors. He looks like a perfect match for my RW female. I can't wait for their babies next season. I think it sounds really fun to work on a pure rainwater line. Pictures next week when he arrives.

Awesome! Can't wait to see him.
