SBKM

[Tigriuns™]

I'm in the same boat right now as Wet Whiskers. If you could try to find some information on the subject, any at all really that could be read I'd really appreciate it. That is an incredible manipulation, genetic or trauma related.

same here

^That's exactly what I was thinking. I think that you can breed 2 deformed creatures and eventually, through continued in-breeding, you develop a deformed creature that carries that deformity as a genetic trait.

Thanks but got to admit there is alot of sick people doing sick things for $$. it like last time there is so many wild fishes but ever since some other type of fishes bring in from other country and thrown in to the river...they so call inter breed. The truth I dun know which type is the orginal angel fish...i even bought a blue angel fish which is inter mix until they get the blue...seem like it was done by someone in a natural way...not dye or tattoo

Morals aside, the physical practice of breaking backs would not result in short-bodied fish. The breaker (man or machine) would have to go vertebra by vertebra and crush it so precisely that cephalocaudal growth would be impeded while normal neurological development could take place. Should a fish survive having its every vertebra (heck, even most vertebra) destroyed precisely, the healing process for every break made would have to occur all in the same fish without any trouble for every single point of trauma all the way down the spine. Any one knobby, crooked or overcalcified break would lead to crooked twisted fish. I doubt that even one in 100,000 fish would heal with the effect intended.

it would take years of inter breeding to make such a fish as the SBKM

its not something that can happen over night

I'm not sure were i read it but i did read it that that SBKM are man made

i don't know how they do it or why thing like this are kept secret much like the parrot fish look how long that has been for say yet no one knows the exact make up of that fish

this is a 50 cent fish ins normal state which would normally grow way to big for most tanks

so what if a few million die thats the way the sellers see it

fish have much better healing than humans try chopping of a toe and see if it grows back

chop off a fish tail and it will grow back in a matter of weeks

Now I wonder how you know that it didn't take years to develop the SBKM?
And you should know that line-breeding and in-breeding does constitute being man made, take a look at all the dog and cat breeds there are.
And as for your belief that fish are better at healing than humans, wouldn't the fish heal from the injury therefore defeating the purpose of breaking it's back to cause a deformity?
To each their own.

like i said i dont know how they do it

but when the SBKM came on to the market a few years ago i read on arofanatics that they have had the backs broken or a part of the spine removed to keep the small

and fish do heal fast but i didnt say they heal right just like fins that have grown back sometimes they are bent
