Has any of your fish interbred before? what did they turn out like, were they healthy? when i mean interbred i mean like a father breeding with his daughter etc.

it would surely have to make them even weaker and have a sorter life.

no.that is one way of getting new colors. if you know what you are doing.
one of my fancy guppy the other day had over 150 youngs!!
it is common for my guppys to have over 100 youngs at the time.

it would surely have to make them even weaker and have a sorter life. It does, that is why LFS bought guppies tend to live less then a year and don't do too well at lower temperatures. Such a shame really... considering the wild form (which is now almost extinct) is relatively atractive as it is (like endlers, but different body shape and less black). But it is the only way to get fancy colours. If inbreeding is highly controlled and the strain is outbred often, you will get relatively hardy fish. |
