You are missing the point. I don't take offense in people owning hybrids. To each his own and he can enjoy whatever he likes.
What I did take offense was for him to come over and bash H. cyano with his hybrid that he bought from Thailand.
You think all the people who worked on getting, keeping, understanding, breeding and distributing pure species are happy with some kid running his mouth with a hybrid from, of all places, Thailand?

What is wrong with you. Seriously. He didnt start bashing Cyanos. He owns/owned one for Gods sake.
Pure species are no better than hybrids. Hybrids arent better than pures. They are both fish, and both creatures born into this world whether or not it was done with human intervention.
I guess the only way to put this to analogy is with humans... Humans, a very very long time ago, were different species. Different races have different genetics. For example, a black man could only get a bone marrow transfusion (or whatever its called) from another person of African descent because any other races dont have a similar enough genetic makeup. So i guess you could possibly see several species of modern humans if you felt the need to break it down that way. And that would mean mixes could be called hybrids. but we are considered a single species because we are very very similar.
Not sure if i made that clear or not. Im trying to say that even though they may be different (a white man and a black man) they are still very similar (both humans, share nearly all genetics) and should be treated the same as one another.
Essentially, dont be racist to fish. Or humans.
Im sorry for "hijacking" this thread
