Inbreeding in Betta Splendens?
Hey,
How "bad" is inbreeding in Bettas? In other words, to what extent is it acceptable to breed related animals.
I don't have any inbred offspring yet. However, I now have two final offspring of one of my best fish. They are, however, directly related (siblings).
I can't imagine that healthy fish would come out of there.
even if you were to mate them with their mother now.
Can you help me?
What is your opinion?
Hello,
I try to see it from my point of view, on the one hand, many beautiful fish have only emerged through “inbreeding”, on the other hand it is not like in humans that already at the first generation “shoes” are to be expected, whether and how many genes of the male go through, you cannot say! It is striking whether there are pure-bred descendants, that is, like the male, or whether they are spalterbig and rather the female passes through! This will be similar to birds and I know this from the past, because in my youth I have bred canaries!
I’d dare to try if you’d like to have more offspring! Do you have customers for “production”? I imagine it problematic, especially if you need to separate the young males and keep them one by one, then it might look like in Asia where dozens of jam jars with animals are standing around!
I usually look for pickers for a rearing before she is there, there are actually people who rely on it
and for the rest I have enough space (20-30l pools) until they are sold 🙂
Hey,
this happened to me and the young animals did not get out of the larvae and gradually went to:(
I would not recommend 🙂
yes, if they had only received… he has eaten both young animals and eggs or not even paired… although everything is great
my other couples have the same conditions and there always comes a minimum of 50 babys who actually manage to make it around
I don’t know what’s going on with this one exemplar… it’s just not suitable what’s very bad because it looks great and has great proportions:(
Maybe another female could help try it. I don’t have so much experience yet, but I’ve already successfully bred B. Splendens twice, and both have taken care of the young.
Good luck 🍀
All right:)
I have already:

Oh, no, I’m sorry.
Habs also scvon with other weibchen
nix
and he’s not doing well now.
too comes a question unfortunately, its beautiful fins are broken
It would not be ideal because it can quickly lead to inbreeding problems. Fighting fish (Betta splendens) are particularly susceptible to genetic defects if they are too closely related. Frequent problems are:
