It looks like my endlers. It looks pretty cool.

I am enclined to think it is closer to being an Endler than a guppy because of its size, it is still tiny even my young male guppies that are now way near as mature as this guy is dwarf it, and it is getting more and more fluro sort of colouring in light it just glows and sparkles. It quite possibly does have guppy in it but I have not seen the usual feral guppies that we have in Australia in this creek. Usually feral guppies in Australia have grass or snakeskin pattern and females are totally devoid of colour with maybe a small splash of black speckles in the tail.

If it stops raining this week I will go back to the creek and see if I can catch any more of these. The creek does have gambusia as well as at least two types of native rainbow fish, at least two types of gudgeon, macrobachium shrimp and glass shrimp (Paratya australiensis), spankled perch and possibly even Barramundi in the deeper sections.

People. Just cos a fish has little colour dose not make it an endler this is 100% guppy. This is how wild or feral guppies look before we humans started breeding then over 100 years ago and then we developed the intense colours and finnage.

The colours are incorrect for endler. To me, someone who has has 15 years experience with endlers and this is also with True endlers not the guppy crosses, which 99.999999% are sold as. This fish dose not even hint to me of a guppy cross,


It's just guppy!

Hi, this is just the type of Guppy I've been looking for here in the UK for months and why I joined TFF.

You got them in a local creek ! How lucky are you ! They're beautiful.

Helterskelter and Oldman are 2 VERY experienced livebearer keepers. If both say it is a guppy, trust them; they know what they are talking about...

I have some wild guppies, they are the exact same size as my endlers...... Exept the females. my wild guppies look identical to that, my endlers have much more color, and have different color variations that are much more vivid

If you have colorful female endlers, your endlers are really guppy/endler crosses. I breed true endlers and have yet to see anything but plain vanilla colors in a female endler. A female with any color but basic grey is not a true endler, period.
