Reef Sanctuary - View Single Post - Tank Bred thoughts, and philosophical questions

I'm curious, lets say a hobbiest purchases 2 tank raised clowns from their LFS, what do you believe the chances are that these 2 individuals are from the same parents? and do you think that if they are from the same parents would that have any effect on their potential to breed? If this inbreeding is repeated enough times do you think there will be issues in the future with tank raised clowns?
