After looking at some of the topics about enigmas, a question popped into my mind. I know the problems with enigmas can be bred out of them but I wondered what would happen if they weren't able to be bred out. This topic is not really about enigmas though so I hope no fighting will break out. The enigmas made me think of a problem I had while I was in the betta breeding hobby. There is a strain of betta called a melano. The problem with this strain was the females in it. Their eggs would fall apart soon after being fertilized. This problem proved to be impossible to breed out of the strain. The strain is still continued by breeding the males to non melano females. If geckos had a defect like this that could not be bred out of the morph, would we continue breeding the morph at all. I am on the fence on this topic and I honestly have no clue what I would answer. That is why I ask you guys.
