If I breed a captive with a wild, what generation is it called? F1 or F1.5?
I think it's as fresh as F1 or even better. What do you say?

Captive X wild
- Thread starter Thoai
- Start date
I think it depends on the captive ones generation then that plus the F0 wil get you F whatever im guessing.
^^
I had a thread on this before on a large (I'll leave which one out)cichlid forum. My current Festae is bred from a F0 male and F1 female from Rapps. I previously thought it would be an F1. Was told by the 'experts' it was an F2 based on the above.

If that's the case, you don't know what it is. It could be an F100,000,000.
Once it gets past F3 or F4, who cares anyway? It's just a tank bred fish at that point imo.
Actually it's probably a nice fish with the new F0 genes in it.

An F1 fish has two wild parents... so definately not "better" than F1...

If you wanted to use the F scale this is the technically correct answer...
But as most people said, using the F scale is only applicable IF you KNOW the captive bred fish's F#, which is unlikely. Plus as mentioned if your captive bred is F20, your fish will be "better" than F21 since it has a wild caught parent. So the F# scale does not do your fish justice...
Screw the shorthand... just say the offspring are wild x captive bred...
