Had a leopard pleco. Started out small but grew to 2/3 the length of my 30 gallon tank. When he grew big he became very lazy and just sat there with long trails of poop. He kept trying to disable the filter. Died of dirty water/old age.
A full endler? Or a hybrid?
So it is indeed endler behaviour...
The fish is the same size as its guppy peers at around the same age as him. Image attached is a tuxedo guppy the same age as him (sorry if he looks pale, I took him to an ice cream tub for photos).
No wonder my little guy looks...
Just noticed today, the guppy in question was swimming backwards trying to impress a female guppy in the same tank... the other males do not do that... perhaps an endler guppy behaviour?
Actually, I'm uncertain whether it was born from a guppy. All I know is that it came in with Poecilia reticulata guppies when they were given to me (who knows whether the breeder I got them from had endler guppies... I might have to ask him if he does have endlers). Thanks for the advice :)
I was given several guppies a month ago (fry included). One of the fry grew to look like this (image attached). Is this a guppy or endler guppy? I’m confused since the other fry do not have the tail pattern of this one. (Note: the black-ish thing on the fish’s body can turn into a solid black...
