I have to disagree with giving generation numbers, if there are no negative issues to be exposed, then why even put a number on it.
to the op: Genetic diversity is almost always a good thing, in the wild. Way better chance of adapting if variables changes, which they do in the wild. However in the "lab" type conditions we put our animals in now, outcrossing can be the very thing that starts a long line of hidden issues and not the inbreeding.
Now it would be ridiculous for us to just breed a certain stock and never introduce new morphs, this is what our hobby is about. So the best thing we can do is just breed responsibly, and if issues arise, do what we can to remove them from breeding stock and try to stop the issue from continuing.
