[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 128926, member: 27677"] Which leads to a demand for wild caught specimens which could lead the loss of two whole species because the wild population has been decimated to the point of extinction and the captive bred specimens are tainted. I fear that this scenario is already playing out with Australian species unintentionally simply due to the fact that the work needed to define species just hasn't been done. I consider it very reckless to intentionally create hybrids unless it's known that the cross produces mules. Hybrids are usually worthless so are often given to friends, friends who despite saying they understand the risks may breed them anyway, or for one reason or the other pass them on. It's just not worth it imo. [/QUOTE]
