Is This An Endler

[black molly3]

here is a video of what i think is an endler mix. my sister bought it as a guppy from the lfs for her tank and since her tank is under construction i decided to take it. for some reason i dont think it is full endler. it is in with my guppys which is why i am quite worried but if it is an endler mix then it wouldnt realy matter if it breeds with the 4 female guppies. thanks


also some of my fry are developing realy well and are becoming realy big however one or 2 of them have like acrooked body. they swim fine but just look crooked. has any one had this before.
thanks again

That guppy may possibly have some endler in it. The only time that I have seen the crooked body type of distortion is when I kept a colony of guppies in a 55 with no selection and the fish came from a very small genetic pool. They were basically in-bred too much and the culls were not being removed as they need to be with in-breeding.

my endler is breeding with a female guppy which is bad. he is going ifront of her doing a little dance to impress her then when she s interested he bends his body round and starts breedingwith her. looks like i am going to have some hybrids.
has anyone elce has this behaviour with guppies or endlers.
thanks

No that not an endler, it looks like a vile tail if anything, no true endler has a sword at all to the tail.

must be hybridized between a veil tail and an endler.
has anyone experienced this breeding behaviour before.
thanks

endlers will cross with anything, but they easily cross with guppies and their are photo's of a molly cross.
see if u can get a good photo i know it difficualt, but if u have macro thats helps. and have a background close to the fish as most camer's focus past the tank and on what behind it.
