This whole to breed hybrids or not is one issue some people will never agree on.

It's good to remember that cross breeding of certain species can benefit the development. If the good traits from both sides are brought forward to the new species. Of course it can go the other way and the bad traits from both sides can be brought forward.

For example when they mated a donkey with a horse to make a mule. These have been used to good advantage on farms and similar for years.

It's been used in the past to "Breed out" weaknesses.

Also in nature some animals hybridize naturally. Like wolves and dogs they often breed. With similar species it occurs a lot.

I'm against making hybrids when they use any sort of artificial techniques for the breeding. But if two fish choose each other as partners and successfully breed, then they can't be that different anyway.

Would the "anti hybrid" people on here say thats its ok for hybridization to happen in nature? But if it happens naturally in somebody's own aquarium it's wrong?
