I have a 1.2 trio of the lighter race and a single of the darker race that I've always kept separate. For space reasons I'm debating on combining them into a single tank, but have been questioning the ethics of doing so- I know they'll breed, and so I want to ask the community about what we feel our responsibility is in preserving genetics of captive populations of species but from distinct regions. Do we feel we have this responsibility? On the one hand I feel the captive populations would benefit from mixing the Gene's of these populations but do we want to preserve their distinctions? I'm very interested to know thoughts on this. Thanks!
