    i think if the fish have been pure bred from wild parents its fair to call them F's.

    i see no reason you couldn't discuss F1's,F4's etc etc in a "wild thread".

    I'f they've been crossed with domestics though, thats a diffrent story.

    "F" normally designates a hybrid in any discussions refering to genetics or lineage. Perhaps the discussing them as "species" discus as is used for reptiles, birds etc. would help. Species is only used where offspring are from pure bred parents that are 100% true to type.

    wilds are great. They are certainly stronger that the tank bred domestic fish. I have kept wilds for years and infact just ordered a new 1000 litre wild tank to be delivered on the 15th. I have some Inanu brooders which i have bred twice, i have a great colony of hekels, some tefe and some wild royals.

    I have a great contact for these fish to if any one would like any, but be warned the rarer fish like the inanu and royals would cost upwards of $700 per fish for an A grade speciman.
