    Which one would you keep?

    I have two male pastels, and I really only need one of them. I keep going back and forth on which one to keep. The first one is cleaner with nicer blushing, but the second is larger, neat pattern and nicer temperament. His yellow seems a bit brighter too. But he is browning out on top.
    I would keep both, but I just got a male pewter too.

    Which one would you choose?

    Male 1




    Male 2



    First one is on the bottom in this pic, the larger one is on the top. Just kind of shows them next to each other.

    From the pictures provided the first one looks to have better blushing and has retained his yellow more so than the second male. The second male has an amazing busy pattern IMO. If it were me I'd keep the first one. Good luck choosing.

    I would pick the one I felt was the best representation of the morph to be a future breeder, but that's just me and my mentality/motivation for my particular breeding program.

    In the end it all up to you, my only advice is to pick which one you think you would be the happiest with.

    I am still learning about what makes for the best representation of a morph. This is why I am asking opinions. I think #1 is nicer in that he is cleaner with nicer blushing, but then #2 has that amazing pattern, so I wasn't sure which was more desirable.
