It's ok if you're confused. There is a lot going on with this update and many of us are still figuring out the ins and outs of the rift. Ok so as for your two questions, yes, having different traits for the same dragon gives it different appearances. If you don't want to keep 10 different versions of each hybrid then that's ok - when you find the Transfiguration Tower that's hidden in the ether, you can change a dragon's trait. This is what I'm doing. For example, I bred a Fire trait Watch dragon. Then later on, I bred a Dark trait Watch dragon. Even after releasing it or selling it, that trait is unlocked forever, for free, and can be changed at any time with the Transfiguration Tower.

And yes, any dragon you breed in the Rift can be sent to your main park. It can then be placed in any habitat that fits its elements or the hibernation cave if you wish.

Here is a useful blog post by a wiki user that explains the mechanics of the Rift in detail: http://dragonvale.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Cyra_Fen/Rift_Mechanics

Hope I was able to help :)
