West ward ho mule train ;While I munch on a beefaloe and splake sandwich.The question is are hybrids allright. Not if you ask Hitler Just joking! I have a Flowerhorn that I am fond of but agree that serious aquarists should keep true and diverse bloodlines.This can now be done on the internet easily.Twelve years ago when I made a feeble attempt at bringing the plight of Lake Victoria Cichlids to a forefront it was ignored,nobody cared.
