[QUOTE="Ceratogyrus, post: 19964, member: 371"] To add to this, there probably is some benefit to hybridizing to the scientific community working with DNA. As long as you keep the male and female and some offspring (The rest need to be culled) for study. Genetics would be able to help to see which traits are carried over from which parents. But I guess the original post was not referring to this. :) The problem I have seen with hybrids is that the offspring often carry all the characteristics of the one parent in the first generation. This probably means that some of the recessive genes will be stored in its genetic makeup and could make an appearance in a later generation. This obviously causes serious problems. So basically, when it comes to the hobby, hybridization is really not needed. [/QUOTE]
