Can Sibling parents produce stunning offspring??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
depends on the fish.I've inbred some blue dolphins w/no problems,but some nics I bred first time came out w deformed fins.You don't know what the person before you did.
 
Basically the was about how the majority of the first batch of inbreed fry will be deformed or health problems but if you take the few that are not and breed them and so one of course selecting what y
 
Inbreeding can retain the 'stunner' genes from parents, and hence produce stunning fish. So that's a yes.

None-stunner fish can also, thanks to genetic recombination, produce stunning fish. Especially if they're not related (i.e. higher chance).

As for the appearance of genetic deformities in linebreeding, there's no hard and fast rule as to how long it takes before a species start showing signs of crappiness. Reason for this is because it's entirely stochastic, you can get deformities right off the bat, or you can inbreed a bunch of fish for 20 generations and see no deformities. Also depends on how you define 'deformity'. Technically all EBJDs are deformed...
 
You want and dont want in a fish but eventually you have a fish with more original and pure genes then even the unrelated parents
