Re: Long time maintenance
As a further addition to my thoughts on inbreeding. I do not make it a
practice to preserve every hatchling. Culling by my divine intervention or by
natural survival of the fittest has been my choice. That fits with the
observation that culling is important to eliminate the weaker fishes. That is
what happens in nature. A large sunfish, recently deceased, was the
beneficiary of much of this culling. Commercial or semi-commercial raising of
fish in numbers may not do as much culling as the typical hobbyist who is
only raising a few for himself and a trade or two.
