    LOL, exactly! A better analogy would be like someone from Texas breeding someone from NY. Although I'm sure that particular cross is even genetically possible.

    Ah, but did you produce viable fertile offspring? And if so, what are Tex-yorks going for?

    Re: Ethics of Hybrids

    it's kinda like the two headed critters who sometimes grace our planet and live for a short time. last year i read about a two headed (was it a snake or bearded dragon and it was living at a zoo.. they were selling it for loads of money... and someone out there will probably pay for the uniqueness of that critter.

    my OB peacock cichlid is gorgeous. his bride is as well. some of the nicest aulo. species i've seen. but, because they are not accepted in the cichlid community as a 'true' species - they are not enjoyed by many people.

    because in the cichlid community... pure lines are valued greatly.

    just my 2 cents. (well with inflation it's 7 cents actually)
    in light, Aleesha
