lately i have ended up with 3 fish holding hybrid fry...I have just let them spit in the tank with the exception of my yellow lab who i had to remove because she was getting beat up while holding so unfortuneatly i have the fry now (yellow lab/colbalt blue) there is only 9 of them and they are big enough to throw back into my 90g I have to admit they are very cute....but i would have just let the female spit in the tank if she would have been ok in there. Once back in the main tank its every fish for himself......i know they wont all survive but whoever does i will keep for myself. I am kinda interested in seeing what they will turn out like so i do hope one of two survive.......i dont have the mom or dad anymore (i gave them away to seperate homes, so this would not happen again) I think its cool to see pics of other peoples hybrid fish. That one of FM's is gorgeous! As long as we enjoy them for ourselves i see nothing wrong with it
New species are not often made by hybridization but rather non random mateing and natural selection against traits and or lack there of over a long period of time that being sid yes it is important that we protectextinct bloodlines but Chris here will not be selling his fish or muddying any bloodlines with them
Not sure what that scuffle was about.... She posted here about her fish without ever being to the original topic of this thread....and what she said was still related...hmph.
