Brian,

To further expand on the concept. If I was a breeder of a co-dominant morph and would want to maintain the market price I would probably sell as little males as possible. The fact is that males should probably be priced 3 times as high as females as they are the ones that will be siring several females and dropping the market price faster. Needless to say, males arrive to sexual maturity maybe a couple of years before females are ready, so it makes even more sense to invest on males and not females. As a breeder of a co-dominant morph, and if I had the right ratio, I would probably price males higher and sell them in trios or even 1-4 groups.

Regards.
