tuffy_rana Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 thats an old pic and definately the way they originated. of course since then others have made the mix including blue texas,green texas,festae,robertsoni,salvini etc. its a sad but true fact that every man and his dog cross breed everything into the gene pool on a hit n miss basis. the most common thing i hear is that "if they have 500 fry and only one or 2 are nice, thats fine" its a lil disturbing. i dont really breed these guys in a big way (least not resalte anyway) but i do tinker. the best course of action is to right out a trait plan.....then go looking for those fish. most peeps are chasing kok,script,pearls (especially face/kok) short bodied (no not deformed spinal deficient) monkey face and wrapped tail. just cross breeding alone you may only get one or 2 of these. line breeding is by far the best way and the breeders i respect. its true that im mostly a purist (breed and supply totally pure american spp for resale) but i do a lot of reading on this subject and frequent haunts that contain knowledgeable peeps on the subject of fh. still a cool poster to let peeps know how the original lines (mostly cross bred out now) came the exist. rant over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
