I'd say just stick with the males you have. I have a male that is nothing special looking, but I know for a fact that he comes from awesome genes. The male with the brindling could potentially pass that trait on to his children and it could possibly show up even stronger in them. I know lots of people with rather dull looking breeders that have created some amazing flame and partial pinstripe babies. You just never know what the parents will surprise you with!

About the floppy tail, there's not a whole lot you can do about it once it gets to a certain point. I'd say you should add more branches though. Maybe it can strengthen it's tail back up. (Though remember, almost all wild Cresteds are tailess, so if it did loose it's tail there's nothing to worry about. It's pretty common.)

Hope this helps! Be sure to post pictures of your future babies.
