There are some rare varieties of the two, but what is the rarest variety of guppy/endler you have kept before or still keeps it?

That is a good question for our in-house livebearer expert - @emeraldking
Blue Japanese endlers. They are the rarest Iāve kept, not saying they are rare but I havenāt seen any in stores around me.
These are the only ones that do well for me 
They look familiar, ha ha. Do you have other strains too?These are the only ones that do well for me

First thing is what is considered being rare to someone? A fish that is rare in comparison to what's available in your area or rare in comparison to the most commercial known versions?
For instance, the already mentioned Japanese blues... The Japanese blue are originally no endlers but guppies. But yes, there are also Japanese blue hybrids. Adrian Hernandez created the first Japanese blue hybrids. But besides this fact, the commercial trade called Japanese blue guppies once they hit the commercial market "Japanese blue endlers" while we were still dealing with guppies. They called them endlers because of the small body size. But to the serious world of guppies and endler keepers and breeders, the incorrect name was a real taboo. For the commercial trade has named a lot of pure small guppy strains endlers instead to make it more interesting. This is why there are lots of arguments going on on forums, simply because of the fact that the commercial trade has given false names which a lot of stores and people copy as being true.
Well, to give a specific guppy or endler strain as the most rarest strain I've kept, is a bit hard for most of my strains are not available at stores. But for sure I can show some pics overhere to give an impression.
Ginga kinubali guppy
Full gold guppy
Green zebrinus lowersword guppy
Magenta lowersword guppy
Red dumbo ear mosaic halfmoon guppy
Metal head ((moscow) dragon red guppy
Platinum red koi guppy
Lutino panda guppy
Galaxy roundtail guppy
Cobra topsword blond guppy
So, there are more but this is just to show you a number of guppy strains of mine...

And here are some endler pics of mine:
Some more...
Picture#11 shows rainbow endlers. I've seen a lot of people on the internet call their own creation "rainbow endlers", while there's officially just one pure endler species that is called "rainbow endler" coming from the wild.

Thanks for showing these pictures! They look nice.
Lots of terrific strains! My absolute favorite is the Metal head ((moscow) dragon red guppy. Exquisite. How far along is that one to breeding true? If only it wasnāt so far away and I had a free tank, Iād be asking. Did I read that there is a time of year you can ship to the states? *um, asking for a friend *
And I was guilty of the same, knowing the Japanese blues are hybrids but I just called them endlers without thinking. I did however check the title before posting to ensure it said guppy/endler, but somehow still labeled them that anyway.
Thank you.
Thanks so much.
Not quite there yet.
LOL...
Well, I do ship abroad but I do know from experience that it may differ from state to state how strict customs can be when fish enter the country.
No worries... A lot of people make that mistake.
