hybridization

[Chrisplosion]

Humans are Homo sapien, whether black, white, or any other.
Dogs are dogs, same species whether grey hound or poodle.
Flowerhorn is a cross of 2 species C trimaculatus and H severus, and/or maybe others.
Not the same.
I believe the emerging increase in the disease Duck Lips may be due to a recessive gene brought about by the hybridization in flowerhorns, not fact, but it sure seems to have dramatically increased since FHs appeared. Just as in agriculture producing disease susceptible crops, that originally had resistance.

The heros genus (Severums) cannot breed outside its genus. Mean they can't cross with anything but themselves.

The argument was one sided. It just takes responsibility, don't breed Red Devil and Midas and then pass them off as either or at all. There is nothing wrong with hybrids except in situations like that.

I agree i love my hybrids, but i also love my pure breds ( central am) and good clean genetics are a must

Duck lips are internal bactirial infection, likly not recessive although it is possible that continuous inbreeding could weaken emmunity raising chances of these infections, although with clean water and well kept fish these infections would not occur. I have had 3 cases of **** lip infection and lost only one of three fish and only because i waited to long. Fh are aggressive and fighting tends to open the opportunity to infection. As all experts always say prevention is the best medicine.
