It will come. You are set up for a negative outcome. Do some research on line breeding to make proper bloodlines. Or in your case hillbillies. Lol. It will manifest in generations.
Takes several generations to really bring out the negative effects. This pair might be a way to bring their grandmother back too haha. I think if people found out how inbred their fish are they would be surprised. Specialty breeds are all inbred especially fh. This pair being hybrids of double hybrid parents I wouldn't be worried one bit.
I wouldn't be worried much either. Be on the lookout for a male or female from your fry that shows admirable traits like these and breed towards the best. If you have problems with genetic weaknesses in your line... Introduce new blood that has any or all the desired traits you like.
I wouldn't care what people say. Hell, I breed these guys for me. If I encounter those who want some, I'll sell them or give them away.
Keep it going Rob. If nothing else, people will learn what line breeding/inbreeding will lead to.

You can already see the fry have a uniform look. It is good work.
