Is ok to breed fish from the same parents? I know alot people sale the fry from a breeding pair as a group. So if I buy a group of fry from the same parents is it ok to breed the fry when they get older or is it better to mix a few from a different group?

Yes, you can but it depends on what your intentions are for the offspring. It is common practices in line breeding when the desired outcome is to intensify a certain trait. Any fry that do not look right or show any sign of undesired gene should be culled.010G Long fin BN grow-out

You can grow them out and gradually cull/sell off the males and keep the females. You can then mix the blood line by buying a few males that you are certain not related to your group.010G Long fin BN grow-out

Thanks I was just curious......Didn't know if inline breeding in fish would do any harm to the off spring or not.Comment

It most likely won't cause any serious harm until many generations down the line, but there's always a possibility of defects with inbreeding
