Flanagan001 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I have two young green terrors (from the same lot of eggs) that have paired up and had babies themselves. 1) If I re-homed the mum (shes ugly, sorry) and kept a daughter (a better looking fish) would there be any problems between dad and daughter? 2) Could they breed ? 3) is that why the mum is ugly, inbreeding? 4) is this normal in the fish world?

Yodapwnsasmurf Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 As long as the daughter and father were good quality/good looking fish, there's no problem, as long as you don't keep inbreeding them. one or two generations is okay, but many more and you'll have trouble. You're better off getting a new female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPete86 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yeah, the more diverse your genetics the less 'mongy' fry you'll get but you still need a quality fish not just diff genes. Sometimes trying to source new genetics can be difficult & obviously the rarer the fish the harder it is. I've had to order from an LFS to expand my T. Moliro genetics & to get a couple more Alto Comp Sumbus but it becomes expensive when ya have to get the LFS to order or import fish for ya.
