- barbazoo 2mo agoRight, as long as you can still get out.
- soperj 2mo agoI would think that would lead to a lot of inbred fish
- lazystar 2mo agoa high rate of mutations would be an advantage in a new environment, though.
- prerok 2mo agoIf it happened just once, yes.

- vitally3643 2mo agoThis tends to simply not be that much of a problem for "lower" species.
- ErroneousBosh 2mo agoEvolved so they *only* hatch after passing through the digestive system of a waterfowl might be a good evolutionary trick to avoid inbreeding. Your eggs won't hatch until they're well away from your relatives.
- steve_adams_86 2mo agoIn my experience, inbreeding doesn't seem to bother fish very much. Certainly you don't want it to happen too much, but I have several species of fish that have inbred and they look fantastic. I'm sure if I continued this line with absolutely no introduction of new genetics, some problems could arise... But after a few generations, they're doing great. I will add new genetics to the line soon, for what it's worth. It isn't an experiment to see what will happen. In most cases I never expected them to breed to begin with.
