Got My Endlers

[Gill]

so my endlers arrived and i am really impressed.
Received over 20 in the box from the breeder, they are a mix of:
White Peacock
Yellow/Black Tuxedo
Tigers
Orange Spot
Black Bar
Yellow/Green Snakeskin

I have them in a breeding net and feeding them Crushed Hikari Pellets. The Yellow tuxedo's are showing colors but how long before they start to show their colors.

Really looking forwardto seeing how the Peacocoks and Tigers turn out.

they colour up at the same rate as guppies, so anything from 8weeks+ average of 12 weeks.

peacock endlers are stunning

 

[helterskelter]

are they all together?

 

[Gill]

Thanks,

Yeah the pics of Peacocks i have seen are amazing.

ATM they are together in a breeding net.
But i am gonna seperate them once i know who's who.
I have plenty of spare tanks to kep them pure, but might let a few mix with each other to see what come out of it.

Your never be able to tell the females apart......
So your only have cross breeds, i can get true endler of several types or if u can get to the derby auction at the end Oct

WOHOOOOOO!!!!!! Derby auctions here we come.

thats a real big shame , people should seperate endlers in transportation and label what females are what, you might find that the person you have got them off actually had them all in one tank so they might well be all crosses already, sorry to explode your bubble.

 

[helterskelter]

well one person on e-bay is selling loads of different types but posting in one bag this is to stop other people from breeding the true!!!!!!!

What an arse i say as true line need to be worked with and maintained!!!!!

P.s. the Derby auction is 26-28 Oct and there is a guppy show as well

yep your right helter, they are a complete arse for doing that, shows they dont give a damn about the fish, i know its business but somethings are far more important than money,

I up for the auctions , anyone want a lift can get 3 more people in me car.

 

[helterskelter]

if i can afford it i may stay up there, but it's difficult as the fish festival is 3 week earlier so may be broke by the end on the month.

The Endlers are starting to Color up.
The Peacocks are the 1st i have noticed and have the Black Eye at the start of the Tail.

doing the water change on the 90G i saw loads of fry come shooting out of the Marimo Balls.

They were Bright Pink with Red heads.

The Livebearers in the 90G are:

White Platinum Sailfin Molly - M
2 Gold Sailfin Mollies - F
2 1/2 Red/White Dalmation Wagtails - Male
2 1/2 Mettalic Grren Reds - F

Which of these would have given bright pink fry?

I Only Managed to save a few as the Badis and Banjos( they come out during the day and walk around onn the Gravel for a while then scurry back to the Marimo Balls) lunged at them.

 

[helterskelter]

well you can rule out the males

But sounds like the sword/platy fry
Their not molly's
