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..
 
egh so so its got like 4 koi and 2 turtles right now just to chill in and cycle it.. we had a hawk pick up the bas but the hawk hasent came back in about 3 weeks :naughty: outher than that every thing is fine we are gona go to the dollar store and buy some scrubbies to stock the filter full of it. than we will let it run for a couple more weeks than its all ready for my growouts.. when i move in 3 years to boston i will be bringing all my tanks and fish with me and will be going into a 1000gal plywood aquarium
 
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!
