Form Breeding

[KadenJames]

In your F1 breed a HM (or maybe even OHM) to a CT with CT parents. This will give you mostly super deltas with extended rays (delta combtails.) Pick the offspring with the largest spread and breed back to the original CT to improve ray extension. Then choose the best offspring with the best ray extension, and breed back to the original HM.

Keep on this process until you eventually have what you're looking for. You'll probably get some nice halfsuns out of it, which are selling for a pretty penny if the web reduction is just right.

Well i think then i will work on breeding some nice CT then just buy a nice HM later on.

[KadenJames]

Keep in mind that even a HM x HM spawn will only result in a few true HMs. There are multiple factors that affect a halfmoon, and all of the genetics need to be lined up just right in order to achieve it.

What would be better male CT x female HM or male HM x female CT? I was going to go with the male CT x female HM because i have heard male HM are not very good fathers.

[KadenJames]

I would do female Hm x ct male. It's been studied that females have a bit more influence on the form of the offspring.

The only fin type i dont see in this thread is EE? Would anyone like to explain how ee traits work and about ee fin types?

[MrVampire181]

EE? Please explain. That doesn't seem to be an acronym I am familiar with.

Big ear is usually refered to genetically as ee. Recessive. Some also call them elephant ear, or dumbo...

[MrVampire181]

Ah that makes sense. Thanks!

Big ears follow the same pattern. Breed a big ear to a non big ear and cross back to the big ear parent.

[Crowntailed]

what if you breed a big ear (aka ee) with another big ear?
