I am in the process of dissecting the posts and the statistical evidence therein. I have compiled a large amount of stats and info on growth rates on the Couperi I both produced over the last number of years,as well as those of fellow keepers. I will post this information in a more consolidated form here in the future. I too share a concern for limited gene pools and inbreeding, but luckily have not been plaqued by these demons. Have seen, first hand what inbreeding produces(small easterns that either dont grow, or have completely staggered and retarded growth curves) Thanks again for your input, it is greatly appreciated.

Thankfully,
Fredrick Albury
