I don't think you have to worry about it. They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

Inbreeding only gets to be a problem after several generations of fish, as mentioned. Some of the more common fish species that can have genetic problems from inbreeding include the 'common' angelfish, the 'common' betta, discus, and neon tetras. These fish are often bred with specially selected mates to bring out certain traits, and these mates sometimes include siblings.
