P.S there the only fish in there all brothers and sisters exept for the guppys
 
Inbreeding is very common in all pet trades. How do you think they get pure-bred dogs? In fish it usually doesn't lead up to drasticly bad mutations. Its basically how they made all the different variations of guppies with large tails. If there is inbreeding for too many generations than it can lead to deformities though.
 
nothing in one batch of inbreeding but say after 100 batches then you'll see birth defects
 
Look at the royal family, would you want one of them swimming around in your tank?
 
A lot of different species and especially fish will inbreed to carry on their genes.

Zippy
