I just know w/ dogs, cats, horses, even fish, there have been diffrent results. just curious.....

There are only a few trip/quad morphs in existance......quads you could count actual animals on your fingers ;) No known health problems from mixing so far....in some cases, mixing morphs seems to have helped the health of the animal (i.e. pearl lesser(super woma lesser)). Problems have resulted from line breeding weak animals though.....so it is best to outsource your animals genetics every now and then to 'keep the blood fresh' ;)

Responsible breeding eliminates any concern for inbreeding.

Check out Ralph's birthing records page...he lists the mom, dad, the clutch, etc etc....Not too often do you see him mixing homozygous x homozygous just to crank out more homozygous morphs....he *could*, but doesn't appear to do so on a grand scale. Just an observation....
