I would keep the best male of the year and only breed him to all of the females, as well as keeping the second best male only as a backup male if the best male should be sterile or somehow be able to not breed.



The only exception would be if you have two different males but both just as nice. For example, you have a great hypo, almost super hypo tangerine male, but is not as deep of a tangerine as you like, but then you also have an incredibly deep tangerine male but isn't as hypo as you'd like. If I were you I would keep and breed both of them, each to the best females in which features they can be improved upon (the super hypo with deep tangerine females and the deep tangerine with the very hypo females). Of course if you have a single male with both of the traits (like vivid looks to be), then your idea would be best in my opinion.
