The view counter isn't accurate to the second.
 
:rolleyes:

Yes they will inbreed
No you cant stop them
You will need to rehome the babies.

Simples...
 
Sell the fry, keep the breeding pair. Simple.
If a male fry mated with its mother would the fry that get produced be deformed aswell?

There is a chance of that yes, I am no export on breeding to say the least, but I'm guessing it all comes down to the breeding pair, and defects they might have or diseases will get passed on to the fry. I have bred discus before for about a year and I would always sell the fry once they was old enough. If I wanted to cross breed I would go out and try and buy/find more breeding adult discus then cross breed the fry from each of my pairs.
 
All the fancy coloured livebearers have been produced by breeding brother to sisiter, father to daughter and mother and son.
If they were not done then you would not see the colour full fish we have now, they would be drab greeny gray fish with just a little colour.

They will all breed together and will produce healthy fry. If you do get a deformed fish, remove it, so it dose not breed back to the others and add poor gene's which increse the odd of deformed fish in the feature.

Guppies have been in breed for the last 110 years (Still going strong), Platies and swordtails for more like the last 60-70 years.

Best thing you can do to reduce problems is every year add a couple of new males so new blood in introduced to the colony now and then.

But cant that cause imune system dificiencys and other problems? my plan is to sell all the females and every time i sell them buy more females to introduce new blood.
