    I have just been wondering what the likes of you guys and girls is. Do you prefer fish the natural way they were created or do you like the variety breeds…. (Albino, Veil tails, ext.)

    I know some of them is hard to distinguish but I am really interested. I am a natural guy.

    @ROEKSTE,

    I prefer fish the natural way.

    Really don't like some man made varieties - balloon mollies, veitail plecs,etc - not for me.

    Same here. I am a big fan of the wild type fish. Discus in particular, angels, normal rams, etc...

    I don't mind some colour forms of fish, if it's subtle. There are some fantastic Discus for eg.
    But when the body shape changes, I really don't like that.

    Ok ... In the case of Discus ... Body shape play a big part .... What about a species like Ram's - I see their is a new colour strain ... GoldFace Electric blue Ram ... It is not ugly, body shape is natural same as Discus...

    I agree, personally hate any balloon "creation" !!! But some veil tails are nice, eg like danios, I recently got a veil tail oscar and I'm in love with it. In my opinion if the modification doesn't harm the fish or makes it's life difficult (difficulty swimming) then I'm okay with it. That ram is gorgeous!

    As long as the body shape, fins and colour are striking enough, I don't mind at all.

    Would also go with as natural as possible,colour veriation to certain degree,but really not fond of albino and veil tails. Marco has also got some stunning Rams(colour veriation).
