Can I inbreed F1 turquoise severum?

[Mythic Figment]

So I am thinking of getting 4-5 turquoise juvenile severum from Jeff Rapps since he is the only person I can find carrying them right now. I want to breed severum (specifically turquoise). Jeff told me that these fry were the result of wild parents pairing up while he was trying to sell them. They bred while in his care and he brought up the fry, so they are F1s. What is the risk of deformities and mutations (of the bad variety) if I get 4-5 of these severum and let them pair up?

It takes several generations of inbreeding before you would have anything to be worried about.
You'll be fine.

Excellent! Thank you both.

If you're concerned then grow out the first batch of fry to a reasonable size just to be sure. I doubt there would be any problems though!

As others commented, while it is possible to have genetic mutations in any fry it is highly unlikely after only 1 round of inbreeding. While I wouldn't necessarily suggest inbreeding, you really shouldn't have any problems.

Besides that is how alot of fish strains are created with inline breeding! I would think 1 or 2 inbreeding wouldn't have any severe genetic defects.

Agreed - no proble at all, unless the F1 fish have genetic issues (which I doubt).

It's all up to chance.

Chances are there wouldn't be (too many) problems in the F1 inbreed, but hey.
