Hi Everyone!

I am just kind of curious about the breeding for specific morphs. Am I right in assuming quite a bit of inbreeding has to be done? If so, has the vitility of the offspring been affected in anyway?

Breeding morphs does not necessarily need to involve inbreeding (except for proving new morphs out, or working with a line only compatible with itself). It is just often cheaper, quicker, and more convenient to do so, and that seems to weigh out more than diversity with alot of people.

In my opinion inbreeding is only ok for about 1 or 2 generations. Anymore genitic defects may arise.
