Why so much hate/dislike others for owning BP?

[RD.]

I don't fear anything, perhaps you should re-read my comment.

I said: "It has nothing to do with not liking hybrids, it has to do with keeping the various folders somewhat organized, instead of a giant mish-mash of topics and fish."

My point was that I don't like to wade through a cluster-phuk of a folder, when I am seeking certain topics, on certain species, from specific geographical regions. This is exactly why MFK created the Flowerhorn/Blood Parrot, and Other Hybrids folder. Purists have their place to converse, and those that keep hybrids have their place. Some members such as myself post in both.

I didn't say you felt that way, but that you where saying that some do. I guess I quoted you incorrectly.

I will keep my personal feelings about designer hybridized fish out of the discussion. I am glad that people are into keeping fish period, no matter what their interest. As RD. pointed out the CA/SA cichlid subforum is not the place for them any more than it is for africans, rays, dats, catfish, channa, etc.....If you are seeing hate in the subforum for hybrids my advice would be to contact a mod.

Yeah, and it's not the first time. In the future maybe just use your own words, and your own interpretations, and leave me out of it. Thanks.

I just find them grotesque, I'm barely a cichlid fan as is. There are so many nicer fish out there in my opinion.

 

[RD.]

So do I Hendre, but like you I don't go around on public forums forcing that opinion or "hate" on others. I believe that's what the OP is referring to.

To you it's meaningless. So, do you assume it's meaningless to others?

O, so there is a time frame for when "breeds" become acceptable?

 

[jmf]

Great informative replies peoples. I guess I'm different than most. I only really keep "wet pets" (apart from my planted tank). The fish could be the ugliest in the world as look as it is intelligent and has personality.

Well goldfish and koi have been around for practically forever, the more recent ultra fancied breeds like bubble eyes are no different than parrots for me, I dislike them a lot

1 of the nicest set ups I’ve seen was a 125 gallon with 8-10 Red Blood Parrots, it was very eye catching.
