As long as the average aquarist has the wild type in mind when choosing his
best parents... otherwise we'll end up with "colour improved" strains.
I think we went through this during the "Albino Rainbowfish" thread a while
back - the net result was a bit hard to pin down. I seem to remember we all
resolved to breed our own fish and not rely on the commercial trade, and
destroy all albinos/hybrids without releasing them to other aquarists. These
are important considerations for species maintenance... My memory does play
tricks, though, I may well be wrong!
