Breeding question

[sarah]

ok, id like to breed my axies. I went to the breeder today and he had 1 female in the tub for sale, but because she is from the same family as rap and daddy (possible brother and sisters), i thought the offspring may have some problems.
Or would it be safer to buy a female from another shop?

it would be safer to buy to by a female from another shop.

definatly. inbreeding is a problem, alot of people say 'its ok for a few generations' but the effects of inbreeding are showing now with some fish. its easy enough to get another axie from another store and its helping just that tiny bit

 

[sarah]

Yep ok.
