I have about 10+ babies right now that I have been taking care of for about 7 months in a 30 gallon tank. Its time to get rid of them. Unfortunatly the all came from the same parents so im worried that if I sell them locally to fish owners, they may inbreed.

I don't want to bring them to the LFS because they will be sold to people that have no idea how to take care of them and will probubly pick 2-3 of my 10 and inbreed anyways.

So im stuck.... any suggestions?
 
were the parents WC? (I doubt it)
where do you think the parents came from anyway? same situation that your fry came from! yellow lab blood lines, especially are so watered down from the originals that it's really a non subject anymore.

The wild population of yellow colored l.caeruleus is actually quite small, and my of them that you find locally are inbred. If you don't want to take them to your LFS, try posting in our buy and swap section, or advertise locally.
Here's an article that explains a little more about labs origins in the LFS trade.

Well I suppose if inbreeding is not a issue to them, and if mine are possibly inbreds with no apparent problems, then I guess I wont worry.
