when buying fish, I notice alot of times online, classifications like F1 and F0. I know wild means wild caught but its confusing, is there any other classifications I havent mentioned?
what are these classifications F0, F1, etc

F0 in fish hobby terms mean generation zero, so the same as Wild caught. F1 one generation removed from wild. F2 two generations removed. Not if F1 and F0 mate, the off spring in an F2. Hope this helps.
meaning if a F1 generation fish breeds witha wild captive fish, then technically it's offspring is a F2(second generation captive bred) because it is the second generation to be bred within captivity in that lineage....hopefully you were confused, and not just pointing out that ti doens't make sense....and if that's the case, disregard this post. 
I would just tell the buyer that it's a cross between a f0 and f1. If nothing else, it would be a f1.5 (Train of thought is that f0xf0=f1 anf f1xf1=f2, so something with a f1 parent cannot be more wild [f0.5] than the parent itself).
Even if you can figure out a decimal f-number, what happens when that fish gets bred?
