I think there is a miscommunication on relative ray- It probably means the hybrid PDR/Pearls related species, which is referring to PDR. (What is posted looks like a bad translation from Chinese - I face this problem when reading articles from Dutch and German Ray sites too)
By F1 or F2 I mean-
PDR mixed with Pearl = F1 PDR/Pearl
F1 PDR/Pearl mixed with PDR = F2 PDR/Pearl
F2 PDR/Pearl mixed with PDR = F3 PDR/Pearl
The father may not be the same PDR but rather just the same species. (Although I will not rule out using a white based Pearl as the 'relative.') This information is usually not shared by ray breeders to protect their investment.

i have always been against inter breeding
cross breeding one type of ray to another i don't think is that much of a problem
i can see problems happening later on if this continues for example if brother and sister or 2 different breeds of ray both have a big amount of growth gene we may end up with 5ft/180cm leos or the people messing with the genes could be hoping for smaller leos of a max size of 12inch / 30cm
who knows what they are hoping to gain from playing god
i do agree though that playin god is wrong but it is somthing that some people wouldnt bat an eye lid at if they can make money out of it, take dyed fish for instance, and having love hearts and your name tattoo'd onto the side's of fish it's just plain cruel but i cant see it stopping anytime soon
