Endlers

[basia]

I am getting some Endlers tomorrow. Are they as prolific breeders as guppies? I have a heavily planted 40 litre tank to keep them in and I was hoping to get a couple of Sparkling gourami as well.

if i may ask, what is an endler? could someone post a pic?

Yes, pretty much. Though I do not believe they have quite the amount of fry Guppies do. I assume you are getting true Endler females, not Guppies? Because you don't really want to cross the two species...most people want to keep the Endler strain as pure as possible.

Lovely fish. My LFS has just got some in quarantine, £7.50 for two females and one male. Gonna have to reserve a dozen or so

I adore Endlers. Can be hard to find in some places. Wonderful personalities. I only have 3 males currently, not yet full adults. They're in my small community tank. I believe they breed very readily and have been known to come on to my harlequins (yes I really must find some females for them. ). I find them far nicer then the guppies and somewhat more intelligent too. Their markings vary so greatly from one to another. One of my males has a big streak of beautiful pink next to blue on his sides where another has a large patch of black and green. I love 'em.
Hugs,

The females with them are smaller than guppy females, silver coloured. The lfs says they are true Endlers so I hope they are. I don't have any guppies, I have set this tank up especially for Endlers because I think they are lovely..

Thats the same as the females my LFS has, so hopefully they are telling the truth, I trust my LFS 99.9%
