...depending on funds and size of collection you can handle, one male (they're good breeders, high % breed at a young age) and as many females as you can afford. There's so much you can do with Pastels (...check out the Pastel Pieds...those are KILLER!!), and that takes females.
...a second male from a different strain gives you additional strength or "breath" to work with, but for every codom male you have you want to add 5 females (normals or otherwise) to breed them to...
Even with the price flux on codoms, they're still a fantastic investment...
