News last year at Aquarama was that breeders of Flower horns were disposing of unwanted fish into the waters, as killing them was thought to be taboo due to religions in the regions. certain strands were not sellable and takeing up space. Breed them as feeders! for the record I HATE parrot fish.

because its bastardizing nature. If it wouldn't generally happen in the wild, then why do it in the aquarium. I'm personally against hybrids of any kind.
Yeah, you can't sound smart trying to classify the scientific name to somebody. For insteance, petsmart employee asks you what you have and you have no intentions of listening to him BS about what your doing wrong.... SOOO you tell him you've got a Ceptopsis sp, Panaque nigrolineatus, and a Pseudodoras niger
500g pond. They shut up cuz they have no idea what you just said. If you have a parrot what can you say....... I've got a parrot. Then they go ok did you know.... do you have..... I would suggest.... Then you say go to hell you
in a classy way cuz you don't want to screw up relations with the only store that sells guppies for feeders in a town with 400,000 people in it.
Point in case. I eat fish but don't mess with their geans.
BTW inbreeding past F7 is taboo. F4 is frowned apon. F2is ok. F0 I'll buy from you anyday!

:WTF: f7, f4. f2. f0???????measurment of generations. F(0) can be explained as wild but generally means two non-related fish breeding. F(1) describes the first inbred generation. ie... we had F0 that bred, there fry would be F1 being first generation. If two from the f1 generation were bred together they would produce F2 spawn. Generations also go diagonally as with guppies which are typically bred daughter with father or F0xF1 spawn would reproduce next generation down so F2 would the their children. It's important that we measure these things so we don't have weak genes like Angels, Discus and soon to be oscars (I guarentee it)
know I get it !!! kinda like with dog's double breed (father/daughter). inbreed (brother/sister). double inbreed (father breed to an INBREED b@#$h)..... thanx's
