VOTE for NEO FOR ACA BOT

[Havey]

hybrids and waterdown cichlid all have to do with $ and demand. We all have to realise that LFS need to make a living. they will do and what is best for them to survive. we need to educated...

we dont promote keeping any type of fish.. we cant ignor hybrids either. we only can educated and learn from each other.

Li...I appreciate you answering. I only ask because as a BOT for the ACA, it's important that you are on the same page with the ACA ideals.

The ACA is against Hybridization of Cichlid bloodlines. The world's habitat is decreasing at a rapid pace and the domestic breeding of Cichlids is another avenue for the continuation of bloodlines. Brazil and others are banning the export of some wild fish. This trend will most likely continue. At some point, we may only have the choice of buying from our own questionable domestically bred stocks.
Back to the ranch, there is a lot of Hybridization talk on these boards. Why not come out with a firm stance or official pinned statement on the boards that you own with your clear views on the subject? I hope that they would be against. It wouldn't decrease your membership, but would hopefully give guidance to new members.
Best of luck running for office.

This way of thinking is why I'm not already a member. A responsible fish collection can include hybrids. It's the owner that bears the responsibility. Hybrids are not going away. Fish snobs apparently aren't either.

Sorry to break it to ya...... Hybrids are here to stay...... I speak with several ACA chair persons on a weekly basis and they understand it is a part of the "industry" ........ As responsible hobbyist/industry person one must use proper judgement as to the extent in which we perticipate in dealing with "hybrids".......

hybrids cichlids are not just a black and white issues. its alot of grey. and they are not going away. instead of closing doors on fish keepers.. why not educated them.. something like "no cichlid left behind" they are cichlids after all...

Awesome..


If Li wins I think Li and ACA will have a mutually beneficial relationship. Li has new and sound ideas to bring, and Li gets to learn a thing or two as well.

FH is a hard issue. No way everyone will ever be happy. Anyways GL in running Li..
