Got some endlers!

[DogFish]

I now have 6 endlers in a quarantine tank. They are so tiny, juveniles, and so much prettier than I imagined. 6 tiny jewels! If you get the opportunity, get some!

Thats great to hear! I plan on buying(actually Ill be saving them) some that are being sold as feeders. I need some filler space in my tetra tank so a couple male endlers would work nice.
Post pics if can

Congratulations! I recently got 5 male endlers as well. They were being sold at my local fish assoc. auction and they were too cute to not bid. I got them for $6 total I know a couple people who breed them, so I can easily get some females to go with them, but I'm not sure I want to do that yet, haha.

"Feeder Guppies" are generally not Endlers.

Endlers wholesale here in Canada for about $2 each. Feeders are just wild-type guppies and wholesale for about $0.015 each.

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it isn't necessarily a duck.

Find a reputable source for your Endlers, keep them seperate from other similar livebearers, and distribute the fry to other like-minded hobbyists.

Just like with dogs, the $$ value is in the pedigree. If you do buy the feeders, assume at best that you have hybrids and distribute them as hybrids, not purebreed Endlers.

Otherwise, enjoy! Both wild guppies and Endlers should be appreciated in their wild form as well as the fancy varieties. I keep tanks of both and enjoy them for their own individual charms.
