I think the rules and guidelines of responsible journalism were more than upheld in this article. Disagreeing with the information provided does not mean it was irresponsibly obtained. Were that the case, all journalism would be irresponsible because there is never a time that everyone agrees with everything in any article.</p>

Usually when 'wild stock' is mentioned, they are referring to a recent cross or out-cross. It's typically intended to strengthen the line or to breed a hybridized fish with a wild appearance. In the case of Endler hybrids, they may be hybridized to obtain a Guppy color and then bred to otherwise look like an Endler. 'Wild stock' or 'Wild-type' is often used to indicate a line is traceable and pure.</p>

Koi Swordtails differ in that the line is not traceable to wild purity. They're hybrid Xiphophorus.</p>
