Thanks Mr. Cooper!

[@dancaptainhowdy]

You have some beautiful hybrids. Wish i had the room. Very informative video.

[@thefishproject]

Thank you Dan! Really appreciate that! By the way sorry I messed up your name in the video 😅. When I record the video I just go off of the top of my head and then add all the video and graphics later. When I realized that I said your names backwards I was going to cut it out and not mention you but then I thought “no, I’m going to leave it in” because you’ve been showing me a lot of love over there in Australia and I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate it. 👍

Yo big up to you. You put in so much work into this. It shows.

[@thefishproject]

Thanks Aquaman! I’m glad you can appreciate that. It took me about 8 hours of work to put this 20 minute video together. It was tedious but I was really excited about getting this information out to y’all so it was well worth it. Thanks for the comment 👍

Can inbreeding cause deformities in cichlids?
How long down the line?

[@thefishproject]

Yes, inbreeding can definitely cause deformation. That’s why it is important to only inbreed when you have that 1 in a million fish and then after that use line breeding to preserve the line but to outcross every 2 or 3 generations to avoid deformation or disease. I like to inbreed using half brother and half sisters. For example same father but different mothers.
