[milkman407]

i hate how its almost impossible to get a pure midas or red devil now adays along with alota otuher fish... everything is becomming hybrid and i would really like some of the pure bred fish but due to all the stores hybrids i cant find them..

how do u all feel about hybrids?

sorry if this is in the wrong topic feel free to close it or move it

i like hybrids but if u raise them u shouldent let them get into the fish industry..

I AGREE, but this topic and your "opinion" has been spoken about by quite a few members. On a side note , hows that pond?

I like them, exept for low quality types of parrots. i have to have a Feaste/jag, or a convict/dempsey

The genetics of the Midas and Red devil were mixed up years ago, so you can't blame the fish stores for selling them as they are now. Especially since they are so similiar, anyways.

LFS selling hybrid fish for full profit is the only thing that erks me, you might see this with Dovii/Jag juveniles, but it's very common with small Mbuna african cichlids.. Be careful!

Tangs too. Again, buyers beware! If you're going for wild caught, ask the seller about collection data & see if he stutters!
