I don't understand the fascination with hybrids and genetic mutations.
Hybridization and genetic modifications gave us things like killer bees.
They might seem wonderful when they are new and exciting but as time goes on we understand them more we realize the true nature of these man made creations.
Sometimes these frankenstein creations exhibit "hybrid vigor" which allows them to reproduce faster or out-compete existing species. The results are rarely good.
Genetic manipulation of food is totally misunderstood and most people view it as some kind of "good thing" because it makes farming more reliable or something like that. Not quite.
Now back to the topic...
Every Discus breeder claims to have their own strain...ya know... pidgeon blood, orange mango, whatever... To me they represent a genetic NIGHTMARE.
Blood parrots cannot close their friggin mouth?!?
There are so many wacked out goldfish to list...bubble eyes, brain looking "orandas"...
The flower horns are the the newest thing and I'm sure they won't be the last.
So now you know my opinion on this, please share yours.
