i agree. that is a great article.
skiploder im going to relate what you said to GTP. you can still find GTPs advertised as local speicmens but the ones that are most sought after are the outcrosses that produce the best colors. i see no difference in wanting a highly colored GTP to having a highly colored woma. some people like locals and good for them. me, i prefer color and thats what ill buy. i don't plan on buying from a broker. i plan on buying form someone that breeds them so i can get pictures of the parents.
its your money....spend it on what you want. if you want local then go local. but can you really prove that it is truly that local.
