Is there a diffrence between just Endlers and wild strain Endlers?

luque · Jan 24, 2008

The endlers in lfs's are usually hybrids, you can tell if they have a sword on there back fin

ollyhtafc · Jan 24, 2008

Not much...i just read that they're probably extinct in the wild and i thought i'd like to do my bit to preserve them in captivity

This is what my pair of endlers are like

And i got more like this

luque · Jan 24, 2008

pretty sure they are hybrid, nice fish though :good:

My enlders have not been bred with anyother fish like guppies.

I keep them seperate fom my guppies now at all times., only time i put a guppy in with them is if i want to try and breed a virgin female with a specific guppy i got, just to see what diffrent types of colours i can get out of them.

they would of already been hybrid when you bought them.

ollyhtafc · Jan 24, 2008

Done a little more research and some sources suggest they are really rare and hardly ever found in fish stores.Scrap that idea then.

yer i heard that when i was looking, and lfs tricked me into buying "wild caught" which turned out werent :angry:

, but thats how i learnt about them being hybrids. :good:

Couldnt say 100%,

all i know is that The endlers my local fish store sells are , Endlers (poecilia wingei) and they are not guppies as most people think.

This is the ones i have got and moat people who like this fish will not breed them with guppies (although i only do it to experiment)

I still keep my endlers seperate as i sell them on to people and my LFS

Lovely fish, well worth getting imo

These are the same as mine and these are proper ones
