i think he means that you should be careful with what you do with the fry, if you don't keep them all yourself it is a bad idea to sell them on the open market, if people end up spawning your hybrid fry to other severums it could pollute future bloodlines

The domestic "severum" is already a hybrid, in fact they do not exisit in the wild at all, so it does not really matter at this point. The domestic "severum" was created years ago when various wild Heros species were bred in Florida by fish farmers who thought they were all the same species, was common back in the day before the nomenclature was worked out. But do tell people they are a cross when you sell any. There are wild Heros severus, but it is a mouthbrooder and no domestic "severum" has it's genetics.
