Breeded animals have so much nicer patterns. You see that with all species these are the latest BD/BD. Parrends are wild caught animals of last year.

yes they are certainly a stunning group..
 
wild caught animals are sometimes needed to add genetic diversity to the captive gene pool, those pups are stunning regardless
 
People who don't want inbred, weak bits of genetic turd, that's who.

But the first few generations are typically great with good breeding practices. Problems arise when weak fish are bred to other weak fish and you end up with modern strains like today's guppy. Bent backs, wobbly posture and prone to illness if not pampered, they are a shame compared to their natural state.

Your rays look amazing. Nice patterns and everything. A good example of captive breeding for sure! But you couldn't have done that with weak siblings ten generations deep, now could you?
 
Who needs wild caught?
I think anyone who wants to be the first to offer CB :)
Frank , what are most of your stock?
Nice pups I bet you charge a pretty penny for them .
 
Not too many people who produce CB rays of your quality, Frank!

Still, I don't entirely agree that CB look better than WC. I've got a group of WC Henlei that argue otherwise, and there are a few very nice WC BD's here in Canada.

If I was going to make the jump to BD, I'd probably do a mix of both. Get the best of both worlds.
 
Simply awesome Frank. Just posted up my new bd in the photo lounge. Would love your opinion.
