If you're using NSGA2, your custom fitness class must be a subclass of NSGA2MultiObjectiveFitness. Furthermore, NSGA2 has its own way of handling fitness comparisons, so overriding betterThan will deviate from how NSGA2 works: you need to make sure you know what you're doing.
The only reason you'd subclass directly from MultiObjectiveFitness is if you're implementing your own multiobjective optimization algorithm.

I wrote pop.subpop.0.species.fitness = ec.multiobjective.CustomFitness inside my experiment param file. Once the execution starts, after the first generation fails, returning the next error:
