Ira Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 That's why it's bad to crossbreed. Destroys pure strains and results in kinda sloppy offspring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsmith Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Yeah, it is a help site, and part of that is encouraging responsible fishkeeping. You have cross breed offspring, now you can learn from this, and do the right thing and ensure that it doesn't happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 i honestly think that ppl should be less concerned about breeding goldens and normal bn's. Increasing genetic variation in a species isn't a bad thing and never has been - of course releasing those offspring into wild populations would be irresponsible. we breed fish like discus for desired traits all the time by selective line breeding... what if this was another one of those selected traits? I know there are a lot of ppl against crossbreeding etc - but it's far too late now to stop- man has already altered the genes / traits off too many species. and we cant be selectively for or against crossbreeding! that's unfair isn't it?

The thing is, we dont know if the Commons, GBA, and Albinos are all the same species(they could be many Ancistrus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 are all of those spp's found in the same habitats and regions as each other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
