By now I understand your attachment to these fish, but please don't breed them further, just cull them next time, or use as feeders...last thing we need is more hybrids

3- purity of species
 
breed away man lol hybridizing is not the devil its not like salvini x cons are going to wipe out pure species lol
 
Interesting looking fish. I personally have no problem with hybrids so long as people are responsible when they sell them and don't try to pass them off as another fish or as some new and amazing species that was just discovered in the wild. It's people who do the wrong thing with their hybrids that make them a risky proposition. Even when the original breeder is responsible, what is to say that down the line someone else will not be if the offspring end up being sold? That said, you can't be held responsible for the actions of others. I keep a pink convict/blood parrot cross which I breed and sell. This crossbreed is a more widely accepted one though, known as the Jellybean Parrot but I always state exactly what they are up front and I hope others will do the same down the road.
 
hybrids do occur naturally, if they breed on their own without hormone boosters and what not, i dont see why it could possibly be a bad thing, do you have a problem with interracial couples?
