Wasn't aware that I had reached expert status that quickly. Thanks!

What I'm looking for is honesty. The folks that are making the hybrid morphs and then selling them as "pure"...and down talking anyone else that makes hybrids are doing themselves and everyone else a great disservice. They could be on the forefront ( publicly, not just in their basement ) of the hybrid market, but instead they are scared to come out and say they are making hybrids.

You said in another post that you got slammed all the time by new folks for making crosses. So what do you do about it? Anything? Try and change their mind? Explain to them what's really going on, or just get pissed and give up?

I say there is room for both the purists and the hybrid folks and that the market can easily sustain both. I applaud the folks that spend all their time keeping records of bloodlines and researching who they buy from, etc.. I think that is a very important aspect of the hobby and I hope there are always folks out there doing it.

I also think there is room for the hybrids...all the crazy patterns / colors that can be had....we haven't even seen the tip of the iceberg yet! There are so many different things that can be done in that arena...it is absolutely mindblowing!!

If you are going to make hybrids then don't hide it, if you are scared to admit it you probably shouldn't be doing it!
