Imbred clowns

How bad is it to inbreed clown fish? what are the health problems associated with that

Geneticist friends have told me that you won't see any effects until after about 5 generations. Most of the deformities we see in CB clowns are from sub par conditions in the rearing tanks.

While I haven't bred siblings, it's pretty common to do so. I wouldn't worry too much about going a generation or two. If you get past that, pair up a juvenile with a fish from another breeder or (better yet) a wild caught fish.
