I agree totally with Hanako here.

Also the babies will probably be snapped up by eager keepers and in my opinion that's not a bad thing. They know what they are getting after all.
Jonathan how the heck can you agree with it they are not pure and who ever buys them won't be told different will they as the person selling the has no clue as to where the parents are from.
So what you are saying is if I put my majorcan male in with my female tuscans that's ok.
