I know a lot of people won't agree with me and I'm not trying to create an argument but I really feel that we should be looking towards the preservation of these different species and purposely breeding in a flaw is counter productive. Yes, it is interesting. Yes, it is cool to learn whats going on. I just feel that that should be as far as it goes. Same for breeding with the mindset of having a cool color- what is the point when they are sterile or consistently produce unviable offspring? Anyways- not trying to pick a fight just my thoughts.
You almost had complete logic there. In fact, breeding for color at all is breeding in a flaw. Do honestly think that a banana or bee would survive in the wild? It can't hide!
