The Creation Of Blood Parrot Cichlids (Pure Cruelty)

Okay....so the lyretails are man made variants,that's still lightyears away from the ugliness of BP's and they can move around and eat just as well as any other fish.

Not all lyre swordtails are moving very well, especially if they're long finned ones. No different from other long finned fishes that have swimming issues.

Funny that no one give a hoot about Frankenstein manmade hybrid mega catfishes or shortbodied fishes. Heck even some coloration strains could be unhealthy and weak (ex Electric Blue JD and albino blood red swordtails).

Those are subjects for other threads that have probably already been brought up and beaten to death years ago.

I see no difference between wild caught and captive bred individuals when it comes to the diseases. Kept both, lost both to same diseases.

my pumpkinseeds and pickerels are the most robust fish I've ever had, they are in a tank with captive bred crappie and a coosae bass, both of which have caught fungus, ich, etc etc. the other fish in the tank (p-seed, grass pickerel, bullhead cat) have never shown a sign yet.

Okay well toss them in with the god aweful blood parrotts then.

So are BP threads which have been beaten to death by stereotyping them as a Frankenstein fish while they're not only man-made fishes in aquarium trade. There are more flawed fishes in aquarium trade.

Like capturing endemic natives or over harvesting some fish species for greed reasons.

correct. I agree 100%. if that was a jab at me for keeping natives I see no issue keeping species that overpopulate a body of water 99.9% of the time. If I were to go out and catch, say, a group of young paddlefish in one of the rivers around me then yes I'd be calling the kettle black for bashing people making hybrids.

I don't think BP are ugly. I can named few fishes that are ugliest in my opinion.

It's just based on your own experiences. Everyone's experiences are different individually

its not a stereotype, look at the things-pieced together by some money-hungry fool for profit.

So round and we go...LOL!...and no one said that BP's are the only man made fish in the hobby but they certainly seem to garner most of the attention and comments...whether good or bad.
