Female Endler In Sorority?

[JustKia]

Would/could it work?
I've got one female endler and really really do not want to put her in my community tank with 14 males
Right now she's in with my Cory fry, but that's not a permanent solution.
I'd hoped she was just a young male and popped her into the fry tank to grow on a bit, but nope she's female

Hmm, I'm really not sure, it might work because she wont be as brightly coloured as male endlers would be, the girls might just ignore her, but if she tries to go into one of their terratories the girls wont appreciate it... it's risky. Is it an option to take her back to a LFS and swap her for a definite boy?

I think you could be ok, but it obviously depends on the girls she would be mixing with, as you have a temp home for her already, I would be tempted to try, if she appears to be getting bullied, then you can remove her again.

I've had female guppies in with my betta's (both male & female) in the past and they have been fine, the betta's pretty much ignored them

depence on the girls really i used to keep male guppys with mine no problem. give it a go but just make sure you have a back up incase it gose wrong.

I'll pop her in with the girls this weekend, see how she goes. If there's trouble she can go back with the fry for now.
My sorority is pretty peaceful, don't fight over food or anything so finger crossed =)

it might be worth taking the girls out rearranging the tank and then putting the endler in then the females but then there might be a bit of fighting to sort out dominance againg.
let use now how it gose

It depends, I have a female betta and a female guppy who peacefully coexist, ignoring each other for the most part. I depends on the temperament of your betta.
