Do you like hybrids?

most are ok, some FH look amazing, and if they are labelled in a responsible manner and then sold on in such a manner then i have no problem with it. what i do hate about the hybrid business, rather than the fish themselves, is that they are often mis sold by people with no moral compass. look at some low grade FH being sold as trimac or midasXdevil sold as pure midas. these then get mated with a pure specimen and to the current owners knowledge they are pure. the fry get sold on as such and so on.
people who want pure breeds are having a harder and harder time getting what they want because people are misselling and therefore destroying the purity of some species.
blood parrots are a whole other ball game because they have bred in deformaties that are just cruel and their production needs to be stopped. while i dont like them, its not the fishes fault. so im not up for active extermination or anything like that but rather prevent further production and let the already deformed fish live as much of an existence as possible but let the breed die.
of course this is my opinion.

I think some hybrids are cool. I'm a cichlid guy and in my search for finding new fish I sometimes come across some hybrids. Some are beautiful while others are just grotesque. I really can't stand Blood Parrots. I think they are misfigured and tormented fish. I think people just need to be responsible with the hybrids they create. If they sell these things they should let people know what they actually are. Selling hybrids under false names is wrong and ruins the blood lines of the true fish that they claim to represent.
i love hybrids to be honest, the manaconda being my favorite. i mean c'mon, how could you possibley not one want of these???
i think most of the problems arise when people are polluting the stock with their "creations", or selling them without saying their hybrids. especially cichlid wise, i've seen a lot hybrid hate
