Should I be concerned about inbreeding? thay all came from the same mom and dad.

Not as big a problem with fish. Inbreeding is how fancy guppy breeders develop and maintain the specific traits you see in different strains of guppies. Fish incest doesn't seem to be that big a problem.

it should be ok as long as they are the product of inbreeding that has spanned 15 generations...
