inbred fish

[spAcE mOnkEy]

i was just wondering...
do fish breed with eachother when they are from the same parents?
i know that its not good when humans do that but is it true for fish or any other animal?
would the fish come out with some kind of physical disability??

With 100+ offspring it isn't really an issue... the ones with defective genes just die out. If people had hundreds of offspring, of which only a minority were expected to survive, inbreeding wouldn't be much of a problem for us either.
