So today i bought 1 dozen feeder guppies, and saved like all them because most of them were baby endlers!!! I put them in my 10 gallon anyone know how raise these guys right?
 
It happened, no reason not to believe them.

That's very exciting! Do you know genders?
I have guppies and its basically the same species. I keep the at about 73 degrees Fahrenheit. You can turn up the tank 2 or 3 degrees for faster growth, but it leads to a shorter life. They will breed very fast and very soon, so you will need a larger tank. You can feed them flakes easily. I give my fish a variety of food, good quality of flakes, freeze dried blood worms added in the mix, and frog pellets, I had some African dwarf frogs, but they were almost five years old so yeah... The pellets are really small so they won't choke, the float to the bottom and it give something my fish to scavenge for.
 
Cool the females, or what i believe to be the females are gray with no coloration. Didnt save all the females so i dont have crazy breeding haha
 





They move so much!! lol their with my marble crayfish right now, can always move them to my 55 gallon when they get bigger.
 
Wow! They are gorgeous! The females will still drop a ton of fry.  At about 5 months old they usually start to drop fry, although they are sexually mature at about 2.  Most females are too small to carry fry at 2 months, but 5 is about right.  A five month old fish will drop about 10 fry, once she reaches 7 she will probably drop up to about 35.  Thats how my guppies are, but many are eaten by the adults and other fish (if you have them).
 
So lower my temperature to 72? and how do i keep the fry from getting sucked up by the filter, do i have to cover the filter with netting?
 
you can cover the filter with netting and or a sponge that has holes large enough to allow the water to easily go in.
watch the cray fish as it might go at them during the night.
when raising them do as you would any other fish, feed them a good diet, make sure there is clean water, and remove any deformed fish.. not far on the fish if it has a curved back etc etc. 
 
Their all straight he was just trying to turn or something lol, ill see what i can get for netting, the crayfish is a cokey one it might catch some but probably not, i read marbles may catch slow moving small fish, and endlers arent exactly slow, but if theres any large problems ill move them, thanks for the info though.
Bluesword from what ive been reading endlers are tropical fish and prefer high temps of about 78-81
 
I think i have 4 strains, blue, orange, red, and yellow, or one strain and many colors lol
