Endlers

[grahamsokel]

I have a tank full of these and they have only produced identical fry in the year i have had them
do they look pure endler to you lot
sorry for the terrible pic but they havent learnt the stay command yet

these are young males as they get older the black bar gets longer and darker
I am wanting to give this tank to my nephew but i need to part with the fish first and dont know if i should put them on as endlers

they're hybrids, you can tell because of the elongated anal and dorsal fins, thats inherited from guppies.

pure endler anal fins are shorter and rounder. i'd post a pic of mine, but my poor old digital camera just can't keep up with them! so i get pretty orange blurs.

hope you don't mind wendy, i pinched one of your photos, you have a much better camera than me!!!

ok thanks for that,Now i have 2 options
I can stick them in my other tanks and mix them with my guppies or rehome them

Most guppies are part endler's anyway - just take a look at all those double-sword guppies - those aren't pure! I wouldn't worry about putting them in with your guppies, therefore, unless you have a pure strain going and don't want to change it. Of course, by all means find them a new home - but call them guppies - not endler's

Thanks i have put them on for rehoming as endler hybrids as even if i put some in my other tanks i will still have too many I think there is about 50 in the tank

they do look like a hybrid and if you have guppies i wouldnt mix them. i think youve had the best idea of rehoming them as hybrids . no probs on the pic cat x
