What's wrong with asking questions and gaining knowledge? I'm sure Anch wouldn't mind telling people exactly what he's selling down to the original wild caught breeding pair.. For example the female he's using can be traced down 3 generations of new blood used and exactly who breeders were. The male is wild caught, meaning anyone that buys fry from him will be getting brand new blood previously not available to the hobby. Like I tried to explain to you already, soon enough people will know this guy's product well enough to stay informed about his line of festae.

As for your whole Severums argument it's really not worth discussing as it doesn't really apply to this and is just plain silly tbh.
Alright I'll wait to hear the difference between an imperial festae and a regular festae because I can't see it

Have you ever bought a purebred dog or anything? Same concept. If your buying wc to F1 it really doesnt matter all that much. However if you have say a stunner super red female mota and the male kills her. It would be nice to be able to grab another super red mota from whatshisface super red mota line than say ordering a ton of regular rio blancs praying for another female as red as the one you had much less with the same perfect physical conformation. Very general example but you get the idea.

The name is gimicky but hey its marketing and my mostly my personal opinion so who cares.

IMO it's not a line until you have line bred a species, don't care if they're fishes, birds, or mammals for at least a few generations for a certain trait. Once you start getting constancy generation after generation for whatever trait you're breeding for than you can call it a linebred animal.

Don't know why people keep comparing fish sp with pedigree dogs, pedigree dogs are a domesticated animal far removed from its wild ancestry the Wolf. Also alot of pedigree dogs ( mainly the ones bred for certain traits or just to look pretty) are genetically flawed and end up living short pain full lives,

Because a pedigree is a pedigree. Its just a way of tracking what came from where. If your going to breed past F1 its about the only way to really keep track of what your doing. Its a lot of trouble to go through for the money, but if it's not mixing locales etc then I think its a good thing.

In regards to the genetically flawed deal. Theres a big difference between backyard breeders (mainly where the average joe will buy from) and pro's.
