I'm going to moderate this thread will create a new thread and move the discussion there.

@firefly not really fighting don't know about you but I learned quite a lot of new things here.

Thanks.
I don't see this as fighting either.
Think it is better having a discussion like this, than the usual boring threads on here.
Nice getting intellectually challenged a bit and if anyone had to read the last few pages I am sure they would learn something.

Suppose we won't agree then.
You missed a great hybridising thread the other day then.

Firefly where do you see this as fighting? It's a very healthy and valid debate which is exactly what forums are for...
The worry with hybridisation discussions as that young people like you lose the 'purist' philosophy which can surely only be very bad in the longterm! That narrow minded kind of thinking might well come back to haunt us 100 years down the line!
The only possible reason to hybridise any pet species is to make profit in my humble opinion or am I mistaken? What other possible valid reason could there be for tinkering with pure bloodlines......?


*heads off to search for that hybridisation thread

I find the hybridizing thing very interesting actually.
According to some definitions, only individuals within a species can breed. I would love to see if hybrids are fertile (Although i assume they are when looking at C.brachycephalus "hobby form" sold in the states)
Have a read on the hybrid thread. Everyone that decided it was fair to hybridize, were against selling any of the offspring.

Plus, we will all be dead in a year and 1 day any way.

Then at least use examples that illustrate your point?
Well then we wait for the descriptions. Should be interesting.

I have owned quite a few through the years, and that's why I can tell from first hand experience that the "dark form" in that link is either immature or male.

Would you say that as recently as a year ago people would have bred T stirmi with T blondi?
And yet again, is that a good thing?
