I actually found it quite funny myself. Why would you even consider mixing when there are plenty of varieties and morphs/populations of dart frogs available. As previously stated, you are freeto do as you wish, none of us can stop you, but dont expect us to support something like crossbreeding. A hybrid is worthless to the hobby. We have enough problems keeping population/morph data straight, and dont need an infinite amount of hybrids to add to the confusion. There's already plenty.

like, a LOT of problems. Consider how long it took me to track down some SI tricolors, lol. Once extremely common, not so anymore. I doubt I'll ever see Moraspunga tricolor ever again.

Like I said Zbrinks, what's the point of crossing if our heads are spinning already with as many new pumilio and tinc morphs discovered? I highly doubt we'd ever get every single morph in the hobby until every one was as common as an azureus.

You're questioning our intelligence when you're the one wanting to mix populations? You asked for opinions, and you're getting plenty. Maybe not getting the responses you wanted should tell you something.

it tells me that you have very closed minds because some one already probably hybridized something sold it as a pure frog and then so on so forth that entire morph is diluted

So because someone probably has already done this, they must have, so you're not doing any harm? You call these populations 'diluted', when in fact they are completely destroyed. Its all or nothing when it comes to keeping dartfrog populations pure.

In my mind, this equates with explaining why it would be ok to steal cash out of a register, because someone has counterfitted money before, so that money must be fake, and therefore its okay to take it.

Go ahead, waste your money, you obviously have more money than sense!!!

In the meantime, i'm going to ignore the rest of your comments and this topic and spend time reading what people have to CONTRIBUTE to the PDF community.
