Question is there in-breeding of Fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
yea, The gene pool can/does get shallow with fish, just like any animal.
 
I don't see why not. I believe that every Convict along with live bearers have been inbred at one time or another.

It's useful in narrowing the gene pool to achieve certain traits. If the line gets too inbred you can start having a lot of problems like deformed fry etc.
 
Yes, there is. In guppies for example, if there's a lot of in breeding, they get bent backs, and all deformed.
 
in breeding has been used a lot on fishes and has damaged their beauty is what i feel.
