Guppies

[hay13]

hi i have a question i dont know if anyone can answer but here we go, i wanted to know if there was any rare breeds of guppies to look out for and mollies.as i have seen some really weird ones and was currious

Good question. Im not sure if there are any special species out there but I know for sure that there has been so much interbreeding with guppy species in the hobby tank that I bet most fancy guppies out there for sale are not of a pure breed. Could be worth a bit of research.

Endlers are fairly rare aren't they? Thought to be extinct in the wild.

glad im not the only one that has wondered that it would b good to know if someone does know or a way to find out as ive tried to find out

yes endlers are thought to be extinct in the wild but are becomeing commonly more available for the home aquarium. they was considered a rare livebearer but are making their way to the common livebearer title. very nice docile fish if you can get your hands on them. dont keep them with other guppies as cross breeding will occur.
hope this helps

Pure enders are rare and there aren't that many about. 99.% of endlers are guppy crosses if you get them from a pet shop thay will not be Pure enders

I'm waiting for OldMan47 to turn up.

As someone interested in rare livebearers I'm sure he knows more than we'll ever learn about it.

most fancy guppies for sale from petshops are not all pure breed.

there are many guppy breeders out there with all sorts of pure breed guppies .
