Posted	F1 ???
24-11-2007 14:50 by robert.pope	in fish breeding terms what is a F1? anyone know ?
24-11-2007 15:46 by Ray	F1 means fish bred from wild parents,or nowadays where one of the parents is wild and the other f1.
24-11-2007 16:04 by curviceps	Yes, F1 generally means first generation fish from wild fish.
24-11-2007 18:02 by Woz	i was going to get a thread up on this, but whats to say that fish people advertise as f1 are actully f1, now im not saying anyone on here sells fish and lies, but how on earth would a buyer know that?
24-11-2007 18:47 by keith t	Loads of this goes on Woz,and i would only buy from recomendations rather than on ebay or classifieds of this site as regards to fish being labelled WC, f1 and f2. People obviously do it as the fish are worth more than TB. A lot of it goes on in the malawis side of things
24-11-2007 21:03 by drewie	yeah and when you see the amount of wild caught malawis for sale on ebay it makes you wonder just how fish are left in the rift lakes or is someone being economical with the truth
24-11-2007 23:05 by saz	Ask to see the import papers.
25-11-2007 01:58 by robert.pope	thanks all i could have just googled it but its nice to see everyone agrees
25-11-2007 09:45 by Woz	yeh the amount of wild caught yellow labs i see, now please correct me if im wrong but im pretty certain that their rarely caught in the wild, most yellow labs in the hobby are bred off a single pair!
25-11-2007 12:30 by keith t	Natural World in Syston are getting some wild caught yellow labs in soon, not sure what part of the lake theyre from, but at £50 a fish i wont be getting any
25-11-2007 13:14 by Ray	A lot of Malawis are bred on the lake shore in huge vats and then sold on as wild fish.As far as I am aware yellow labs are on the CITES endangerd list and should not be exported,perhaps breeding on the lakeshore gets round this.
25-11-2007 15:24 by Woz	on the subject of yellow labs ive just bought the biggest one ive ever seen , must be 5" atleast and very stocky
