How many fry can an endler give birth to?And does the female has a normal tail?what type of live bearers can a endler mate with?
 
Endler's can hyrbidize with guppies but DON'T DO IT! The fry look much like endler's but lose their lovely coloring after subsequent generations. It is important that we try to keep endler's pure. A lot of 'fancy' guppies are, however, endler's hybrids (or their anscestors were rather). So if you want endler's hybrids, get yourself a fancy guppy and leave the endler's pure.

A female can have up to 40 fry once fully mature but the earlier batches will be a lot smaller. Averaging around 10.

Females are dull and look very much like wild guppy females (but they aren't so don't cross-breed them). They have a round tail and no fin extensions or bright colors.
 
My Endlers usually produce 15~20 babies each month (mature adults) The young females (1st timers) produce 6~10.

Endlers can be crossed with Guppies and the results can be a very pretty fish, the males have the body colouration of the father (Endler) and a huge guppy type tail where the colours flow and blend.

I have to dissagree with the previous poster where Fancy Guppies are Endler Hybrids as the Males produced from a Male Endler/Female Guppy are classed as F1 hybrids where the male offspring are sterile. The female hybrids produced are non specific in breeding and can be re~mated with Guppy or Endler to produce Guppy or Endler pure's as they carry a blank genombe (genetic structure, basically a blank canvas) that can be imprinted upon via the male's genetic structure.
For further research, do a search on the studies of Prof John Endler.

I will agree that if you want a hybrid, Use a Pure Endler male to a female guppy and enjoy the results :nod:
