Not that I would ever attempt this but just wondering will fish breed if they are stunnted, and if so, will it effect the offspring? Thanks

Generally they'll still be willing and able to breed. There's no reason to think it would affect the offspring since the stunting isn't a genetic trait. Stunted fish should (in fact, I'll say will) produce normal-size fish if the fry are raised in conditions that won't cause stunting.
