None of the old names mean anything to me personally, except as a reference point. None of the breeders that created them will reveal how they did it, so who cares? I am creating my own crosses, using purebred fish, I highly doubt I am following the exact recipe used by the original breeders of any named strain. Two different breeders, using slightly different combinations of fish, could produce virtually identical offspring. But that doesn't mean those offspring are the same strain. So regardless of what my fish end up looking like, I will not be naming them with the old/traditional names. I intend to call them exactly what they are. Syn X parrot X Texas for example... I also intend to tell anybody who will listen exactly how I made them. Unlike the original creators of all the fh strains. The hobby has moved on now, it doesn't just belong to any one country, any one person. So why should I bother using the names & methodology of someone else, when I have my own ideas of what is right? Especially when I think they sacrificed health & vigor, for beauty, in so many strains? I will call my fish exactly what they are. It's my strain, so that means I get to name it, just like every other breeder who created a strain. I will call them by every species name they carry in their genetics. And if I catch anyone on the Internet calling my fish RBK's etc. I will quickly school them. My strain, my name. Simple descriptive names are acceptable to me, red Texas, red syn etc. As long as the word hybrid was also used in that name. "Hybrid red syn" for example. Understand that I'm only holding myself, and my own strains, to this standard. The rest of you can flame each other over these outdated, possibly mistranslated, irrelevant, names, till the end of time for all I care.
