Question on breeding...sort of

[gregmonsta]

ditto what they are saying!!! You COULD (not saying I WOULD) inbreed generation after generation without showing seemingly any ill effects, but it's not at all necessary, usually. Unless, you are working with a species and there are no others of it available, or something like that!!

Like Tetrataenia here in Europe ... although reduced litter sizes, smaller offspring and high mortality rate speak for themselves in some cases. Best to avoid inbreeding the same family group any more than is necessary.
