Sunkissed Pied-Sided x Het Striped Orchid Stragazer
Here are some Stargazer testing breedings. This first one is a reason some may say it is a waste of time to test for SG. With poor fertility like this, it may seem like a waste of time, but I got three eggs from another het SG female from this male, so 9 eggs may tell me something if they hatch.
I always believe knowing the truth about something is the right way to go, especially in the long run. I am way behind where I could be creating Sunkissed Combines, if it wasn't for my testing of my lines.
It is great when you can test the Sunkissed that creates a line and prove the entire line SG Free, but sometimes like with this SKPS male, I had to take a different approach.
Look at the genetics of this female het SG. She is het for Striped Orchid, don't I wish! The project started bad. I only produced 2.1 Het Striped Orchids. The Sunkissed was egg bound and eventually died, so I had to test each one of the 3 project Corns.
1.1 Tested het SG, so I am glad I know the truth about that project. I also love knowing the truth about the many Sunkissed lines I now have that are SG free.
I may be behind where I could be today creating Sunkissed Combines, but in the long run, now I only have state the truth about the SG status of my Sunkissed lines.
