Live Aquaria has these type hybrids all the time. They list them in the Driver Den selection on their web site. They usually go for a lot more than a regular fish, most of the time they're not worth the extra money.

here is a stock shot of a Powder brown. I wonder if the Powder Brown is actually a Hybrid. traits that start out as a recessive gene but through natural selection became stringer & dominant....:scratchch

I just have to chime in here.

Whether or not a gene is dominant or recessive has only to do with how a trait is expressed, not whether or not it is selected for. Natural selection will select which ever traits best suit an organism to its environment regardless of whether it is a dominant or recessive trait. It is a common misconception that "dominant" = "good and strong", but this is not necessarily the case. There are dominant traits that are actually deleterious (i.e. Huntington's disease in humans).

Beautiful fish!

i think five fingers is recessive, while the six fingers gene is dominant :biglaugh:
