Default Leo genetics

I have a male Super Hypo tangerine carrot tail. What morph female would give really nice/ unusual colours.

Cheers

Snow enigma would give a good selection of offspring.

Personally, I`d go with a Tangerine Enigma mate and avoid the Snow Enigma - you want something that`ll give you nice results pretty quickly (unless you want a long term profect and have an outlet for the high number of leos hatched out that aren`t what you were aiming for). The Enigma gene tends to accentuate and highlight certain colours, one of the main ones being Tangerine - so if you got yourself a really nice, problem free Tangerine Enigma, and bred it to her, both their colours should be intensified in the first generation of hatchlings....if you went for a Snow Enigma, then you`d prob end up with a lot of babies that weren`t quite as good as either parent is to begin with ie the Snow/pale trait of the Snow Enigma would weaken/dull the tang of the mum, and the tang of the mum would `dirty` and discolour the paleness of the Snow - basically meaning a lot of substandard Snow Enigmas (discoloured ones), dull Hypos and the odd pale Tang Enigma - so prob an idea to try and work with the best traits of what you already have: the tangerine, hypoism and the CT if the mum, and go from there
