[QUOTE="Kymura, post: 55835, member: 4072"] Well, I'm not sure about that, but I am going to spend some time researching this a bit. Hybrids in many species happen in nature, so no way of knowing the actual stability of them without some longer term research.Unfortunately that does involve culling a few, In this situation I would assume that would involve allowing them to cull one another as slings ensuring the survival of the more fit individuals for further research/breeding. I wonder how many generations it would take to have them develop unique characteristics or coloring that bred true... also, I'm sure that they wouldn't have culled to harshly or sold, with as many enthusiasts as there are just on this board there are bound to be folks willing to raise a six pack of slings for the researcher.
