hybrids... thoughts and concerns

[TrailerParkFishTanks]

I am also glad its staying professional. There are reasons on both sides I agree with. Private breeding programs that may be needed in the future are a major plus towards pure strains. Hybrids I would have a difficult time saying no to a fish I thought looked really cool or even worse if I was to cull them. I think of fish as pets, like dogs, with personalities. I would have a difficult the culling some accidents in the tank. I see the point of keeping it in your tank if you have hybrids but also if your buddy wants a few I don't see why not as long as they understand they are hybrids a d not to be sold or misrepresented as pure strains.

I welcome any unwanted but healthy hybrids to be fed to my arowana and other giant fish. Let me know.

That may seem reasonable however if I have created or allowed hybrids in my tanks I need to be responsible for them for life and if they go to another tank, even a friend's tank, I cannot maintain that responsibility over them and be sure that my friend will never pass them on to anyone else.
