but colors and patterns are a survival trait. in most cases, they represent dominance itself.

You are talking about the Introduction of a species into a non native environment. We were talking about the crossbreeding of species. Two different topics. But I do agree with all ylur points on the interdiction problems.

that is a fair answer. i understand your point...........i am just preaching caution the we should not be arrogant enough to overestimate our ability to control nature and its ability to prove us wrong.

I heard the same podcast. It is actually a fungus and is affecting amphibians globally.

Well I like my clowns just as they are. I think we as humans fail to see the beauty that is before us and tend to think we need to tweek on things to make them better, maybe it's our nature.

Maybe we will have to agree to host Dick at our houses one by one. Just think how much we'd learn and nice our tanks would look.
