Many serious hobbyists are reluctant to even mix fish from different import batches, even if they have the same river location as the collection point. It's quite easy for these crosses to make thier way into the aquarium trade and dilute genuine gene pools. Now while crossing two locational variants isn't hybridising a fish, it does raise some ethical issues. altifrons "Aripuana I" which means it's a geophagus that looks very similar to Altifrons from the river Aripuana and I signifies that it is the first of two similar looking variants found in the river system.
