in our litte fellowship, there are 5 of us. we've been trying hard to figure this out without success. I'm so discouraged at this point, I'm about at the point where I want to give up. anything new we've gotten, we've gotten because we bought it.

a couple of months ago, my friend Wren, bought 2 kois. she gave the first baby to Robby. Robby bought another koi to match. I got koi to match one of his offspring. we breed them back to Wren's originals. all we got from any of those was more kois. we learned same gets more of the same.

an emperor & a cinder gave us autumn, amber, & sierra.

a snowpaw & a jubilee gave us fawn & autumn.

a snowpaw & a koi gave us sierra, autumn & winecoat.

a highland & an emperor gave us red & sierra.

a painted & sierra gave us red & fawn.

in chat, someone suggest we put the red & sierra from the last 2 & they should give us a dynasty (an exaggeration I'm sure). we got more sierra.

when we buy new things, like the emperor, jubilee, & painted, we look in the background to see what's there. we chose things with better/different coats than what's showing.

could/would anyone please show us what we're doing wrong? make suggestions on how we could improve what we're doing? don't be afraid to tell us what we're doing is total rubbish. at this point, I really think it is.
