i dont have any problem with fish like blood parrots, because i look at it from their point of view. it is not there fault for one second that they are hybrids, so do not condem them for it. it was the people that made them and brought them into the markets fault.
i acctually have a blood parrot, and he acts like any other fish, and i treat him just like any of my other fish in the tank with him. he can swim just as fast as the others, and he can compete for food just as good too.
OBTW, there are plenty of natural hybrids among animals that have arisen in certain per trades because trappers/ catchers brought them in, and they are wild. for example, blue and gold macaws ans scarlet macaws will brred ocasionally to produce ofspring that lead normal lives except for the fact that they cannot breed. another example is the green wing scarlet macaw hybrid that occurs all of the time in the wild. i wouldnt doubt that somehwere along the line at leat a few cichlid from wother psecies bred to produce a hybrid, whether it be angels and discus or sword tails and platies (whic does happen in the wild from what i have read. it results in the varatius).
