The problem with hybrids is, there is always the risk of losing the original species. Take Endler's for instance. So many have been allowed to breed with guppies that all Endler's available in the trade are now Endler/guppy crosses. If it wasn't for dedicated breeders and hobbyists keeping pure strains, if anything happened to the wild population (which is from a small geographical area), through drought or pollution say, they'd be lost forever.Yes and plus I don't agree with the first comment on not putting fish together that will create hybrids. What is wrong with hybrids? Everyone seems to hate them but I love my hybrids just as much as my so called "purebreds" but all fish are actually hybrids from some time or another. My pregnant platy is in her own fry tank right now because that is what I like to use. I'm actually hoping she has hybrids of my favorite original tankmate that sadly died last week. ;(. Out of my 6 original tank mates I've only managed to have 3 left after 6 mos. I want these fry to be a marigold wag swordtail red platy hybrid. I'll be sad if they're not but oh well I'll love them anyways.
