hybrid hate

[Malawifish]

Well I'm swedin on this topic, I see it both ways I'm not interested in hybrids, most of them seem to be overly aggressive in my experience with Dragon bloods and OBs. But who am I to tell people what they can do in their own home. I wish people wouldn't try to sell them, and I wish to sell to a LFS you would need to prove the bloodline with some type of certificate like dogs.


So that's it. we could try to set a standard for buying and selling fish I think we could get every fish club to stand behind something like this and fish farms would probably jump on board.I think that if there was a system in place like this like there is for for dogs you could completely turn hybrids into a thing of the past

The reason is that those were crossed with mbuna to look like that and mbuna are typically more aggressive than real peacocks. Thus, you've got a more aggressive hybrid "peacock".

and I wish to sell to a LFS you would need to prove the bloodline with some type of certificate like dogs.

The problem with comparing to domestic dogs is that they are all the same species. They are all Canis lupus familiaris. A large majority of the african cichlids involved in this discussion are all separate species.
