Fish hobbyists will jump down your throat for supporting hybrid fish. We're losing pure blood very quickly.

While reptile hobbyists have always sought to propogate new color morphs and hybrids, it has always been frowned upon in fish. There are a lot of reasons for this- many more fish kept in captivity than reptiles are extinct or extant in the wild making the aquisition of new pure blood impossible. We're losing the cherry barb, for example. It is extinct in the wild and once the gene pool peters out it'll be gone forever.
