My personal tactic is just trying to get all the genes I want as carried, so fill all slots asap. After that it's just breeding over and over, getting more and more vis, until I reach 6v. I think I got the 6c advice from this guide? I don't really keep track for just trait breeding, (I am probably very disorganised) I just breed randomly until I want to max stat them.

As for the max-stats, you just need two pairs. Each pair makes two babies (so four babies to prisma!) and voil, you got two new pairs to continue breeding with. I am currently maxing the Lagoon Nymph Nephs with that tactic, here's a progress baby as an example!

Also, for nurture boosts, you can save up scales, and then use them during fests. That's when most nurturing happens so you get more bang for your buck! ...or scales.

I've only ever used the scales option for nurture boost, honestly I kind of forgot there was a diamonds option for them (although you can also purchase diamonds for gold via the currency exchange)
If you get magical pies from like, winter wonderland or wherever, those can also be helpful, if you aren't sure you'll be able to get as many people nurturing them, since the pies double each nurture's outcome on the baby.

But yeah, generally you want to get traits you want on them locked in first. Collect any nurtures you can along the way during this period on success hatches. That way when you get to the stat breeding you've gotten at least some head start on where they started, and haven't used philters on babies with the wrong traits.


For tracking, you could use microsoft excel or google spreadsheets- I use spreadsheets personally. That way you can copypaste ids/names, make filters to sort them, add new tabs for new generations if you want, etc
