Endlers Pregnant

[TheSims3Dude]

Hey everyone!
I have 7 endlers, (4 females, 3 males) that I bought from my local fish club last month and this month,
all 4 females are pregnant! ^^
the two females that I bought last month already had babies a couple weeks ago, I estimated that they should have their babies around the 20th-22nd of this month, so next week
the other females don't look to far off either, so hopefully I'll have lots o' babies! Can I sell them to my local pet store? He said he'd take them, but I didn't know if endlers are common or not, would it be ok to sell them? I could also give some back to my local fish club in a couple months,
how many babies do they usually have? My ender last month only had 7 babies, is that normal?

My endlers often have more than 7 fry but their drops are quite variable.

Oh! I just noticed a baby fish in the tank, it's either a molly or a endler, it's kinda greyish and really small,
so I'm assuming its an endler, the females I bought last month had babies about 3-4 weeks agoa and still look fat, the three new girls are skinnier, but still getting bigger each day,
so it can't be from the new girls, or the one's from a month ago, cuz it's way to small,
unless one of my fish is having babies as we speak?

Hey, congrats!
Can you possibly post some pictures? (Of fry and adults)
I'm really bad at figuring out what kind of fish I have....
Are these endlers, guppies, or endlers/guppies crossed?





They were labelled as "feeder guppies" in the pet store, but to me, they look quite a bit like endlers.

And no worries, they are in a tank on their own - no guppies are with them, or any other fish.

Thanks for any advice!

Endlers can easily drop fry at 23 day intervals so it could well be the next drop from a female that dropped a month ago or a bit less.

 

[TheSims3Dude]

Yes, I think it's a fry from a month ago, but my week old guppy fry are twice the size of this lil guy, weird,.. lol

EDIT:
Fry-Forever, those looks like endlers to me,
but I dunno, lol

EDIT:
Fry-Forever, those looks like endlers to me, that's exactly what my fish look like,

no these arent endlers they are feeder /wild guppies
colour not right for endlers

My endlers have orange and yellow dots on them, (males anyways) they are endlers right?
I got them from my fish club, their colors are very vibrant and noticeable when I look at them,

EDIT:
Just checked, mine are definately endlers, when the babies are old enough, can I sell them to my LPS?
They said they'd take em, I dunno if endlers are rare here, I never see them at any petstores, at all,
would I be messing up if I gave them to the pet store? or are they common?

(I live in Ontario, Canada)

 

[OldMan47]

Endlers are only seen in pet shops when a hobbyist brings some in. I have never seen them there otherwise. Once you have supplied them with endlers, there will be no more demand because everyone who takes some home will be back in a couple of months trying to sell them.

 

[TheSims3Dude]

So what should I do?
Would it be bad to sell them? Or are they common anyways,...

 

[TheSims3Dude]

Not trying to be a nuisance, but what do you people think I should do?
Can I sell them to the pet store? Or would it be ruining the "rarer" aspect, I just don't wanna do something that would ruin anything,...
I can auction some back to my fish club too, but I would like to sell them to the pet store,... any suggestions?

 

[OldMan47]

If you want to sell them to pet shops, go ahead. I would wait until I had enough adults to make a pet shop tank look full so that at least they would not mix them in with other fish. If you start by selling 3 or 4 pairs, you may kill your own market before you get a chance to sell many but the larger group would at least give you one good sale.

Ok, thanks!

Update:

I checked on my endlers this morning,
the 2 that I received last month have a black gravid spot, like pitch black, but their not extremely big yet, so I'm thinking another couple days, their due around the 20th-22nd,
(next week) so it could be anyday now I suppose, the other two females that I bought last week at the HDAS (Hamilton and District Aquarium Society) have a lighter gravid spot, but it's getting darker everyday and they seem to be getting bigger still, so I'm guessing at least 1-2 weeks,
Anyways, that's the update just to let you guys/girls know (if anyone cares) lol
