Please just answer me a question.. I am not trying to start problems or anything... but I just dont see what the big problem is with Hybrids.

The dyed/Injected/Mutilated fish I can totally understand why everyone (including myself) is against it... But Hybrids are just two different types of fish who breed together... Its like 2 dogs making babies.. it happens all the time.. I am Italian and my husband is Portuguese... so our daughter is a sort of "Hybrid" right?

Or are Hybrids made some other way and I am just ignorant? I just dont get it?
 
I don't mind hybrids either, but I don't have any.
 
i lvoe hybrids....too bad my pu**y flowerhorn is getting molested by my green terror as i type this
 
hybrids kick arse

Right on Bro... im with you!!!... best of both world with women and fish.. :D the more chosen to die for traits the better.. hahah
 
okay- for starters, I am a fan of fish hybirds and have a few of my own.

What a hybrid is is a cross between two different SPECIES, which an Italian man and a Portuguese woman are of the SAME species. Your child would only be a hybrid if one of the parents were a type of ape or one of the extinct species of humanoids.

My reasons for enjoying FISH hybrids is because I am a big fan of preserving natural spaces, and although I keep fish and am as addicted as everyone else here, in my mind, every time someone buys a hybrid over a WILD-caught fish, it means some little space in the wild wasn't disturb for a few more hours. It's my own logic, and it works for me.
 
Works for me too... but Fish are Fish are Fish....

No, that is just your anthropocentric view and an incorrect one at that. What constitutes of a species is well defined in science. Both of your cited examples of different races of humans and different breeds of dogs having offspring involve breeding within a single species, not two different species. An example of a mammalian hybrid is a mule, a sterile hybrid between a horse and donkey.
