An oscar with a blue acara?

[freddyk]

Synirr is correct about the "mixed oscar" thing, there are many, many different strains of oscar

All Oscars are the same species line bred to achieve different coloring. 'Mixed Oscars' is just crosses of different strains, but has nothing to do with hybrids.

Yeah, but it has to do with this topic. It features an albino with a black tiger.

The smart ones agree with me.

...Like who?

Christ Synirr, you just dont like me very much, do you?

I honestly don't, I'm just trying to poke at you until you stop and think, "Hey, maybe she's right and I really should go study some more!" Nothing irritates me more than pseudoscience and those who perpetuate it. It just leads to misinformation and BS like eugenics and the Nazis. Obviously I don't think anythink like that is going to surface out of the fish forums lol, but I figure it's best to nip this thing in the bud. Seriously, share your theories and everything, but at least back it up with an explanation of how it's even possible, or provide some sources of evidence. I find it really difficult to take you seriously without that.

Sigh........... well, one of them is my friend Derek who tested as above the genius level in an IQ test.

I also have photographic memory, which makes me virtually a databank when it comes to storing info i have read. How dare you call my theories psuedoscience. You just dont get it. Maybe you should be the one studying more.

In the livebearers forum, i asked a question: is there really true endler females? Turns out there is, but not really since they are just a guppy subspecies anyway.

Maybe someday I will prove my theories. It would be hilarious to see the look on your face In the meantime, I will take your advice, and I will study more. Thanks!

And im off!

Well if we're going to be listing our credentials, I tested as having a genius IQ as well, but that doesn't mean I know anything about trigonometry or advanced physics... you have to actually study things to know about them. Just because you have the brain power to understand them doesn't mean you're born with the knowledge
It just happens that one of the few things I have studied is biology, specifically genetics, as I'm planning on becoming a research cytogeneticist in the future. I don't claim to know everything since I'm only a second year student, but I have studied an ungodly amount during my own free time (total nerd, I'm tellin' ya, lol.) Seriously, I'm not trying to make this into a contest about who's smarter, since I'm sure you know a lot more than me in a lot of areas, but I'm pretty darn confident when it comes to my knowledge of genetics.

Even if endlers are just a subspecies, there can still be true endler females... subspecies are still a valid classification. It just means they're not an entirely separate species in and of themselves, but instead, another group that is separate, but very closely related.

Please, do try to prove your theories, I will gladly eat my words. I do not mind being proven wrong at all, I just don't like it when people state their theories with such confidence when they don't have any real evidence to back it up . In science, you go with the theories that do have sufficient evidence to have been accepted by the community before anything else. Generally new theories only arise when the old ones are no longer a sufficient explanation. It's the methodology that makes it all work so well... it is never "the truth," but only the best truth you have at the time

"I tested as having genius IQ as well"
There is nothing i love seeing more than a fellow genius. I will look for you on some news program one day... "breaking new discovery".....!!!

(uh, what exacly is a cytogeneticist? oh no... i cant figure it out!)

"total nerd, im tellin ya"

Im the only one ive ever heard of whose reading level does not drop during the summer. Makes me proud as an ox (Hmm... how proud are oxen?) Shall i add you to that list? Its not being a nerd, its just not settling for the boring life most swear by. To think that people will actually act dumb to fit in...... makes me sick. I will never stoop to the level of my classmates. I will take almost any insult on earth with laughter, but when someone calls me dumb, they will be hearing about it! Ill say something like: what colour is a common Carassius auratus? The answer is one they see every day, you can imagine how well it works. I dont mean to be mean to them, however that is an extremely effective way of saying piss off in a "language" they dont understand. Heh heh......... Do you got any good ways of getting rid of the "popular kids"? Id love to hear em....

It may take awhile for someone to prove themselves to me. However when they do, the thought of someone being able to not only understand what im talking about, but to debate it with me! And then even prove me wrong! Thank you. I shall not forget this..... unless you do drugs of course. (another thing I have sworn away, never tried any, never will! makes me so proud [oh no, there goes my arrogance again!].......)

Cytogenetics, as defined by the internet because I suck at explaining it, is "the study of chromosomes and the related disease states caused by numerical and structural chromosome abnormalities." Basically, it's the part of genetics that has as little to do with chemistry as possible. I love genetics, but hate chemistry with the passion of a thousand Christs.

I don't read books much to tell you the truth, but do a lot of research and whatnot on the internet. Whenever I think of a question, I try my best to find the answer. As a result I end up being a library of completely useless information, like why lygers are bigger than both lions and tigers but tigons are smaller than both parental species. I get rid of "popular" kids by ignoring them... works pretty well.

I don't do drugs, but it has little to do with morality or anything like that. I would be open to trying some of the less harmful ones, but 1) I don't really see the point, 2) I'm too broke to buy drugs because I spend all my money on fish, and 3) I'm too lazy to find a dealer

Anyway, enough thread hijacking... PM if you want to reply
