I've got Endlers ... :) And Angles, Cardinals, Platy (!) Threadfins....

It was meant as a compliment to the people that have posted their pictures, it is a very smart looking group as Tristan said. It wasn't meant to put anybody else down... I'm sorry if it was interpreted that way, as it wasn't meant like that.

I tend to put my foot in my mouth sometimes, I'm sorry

A small wild guppy from Venezuela, rumoured to be extinct in the wild.

I remember seing those in a Nutrafin supplement magazine last year, i would love to get some of those, i think that they are much more attractive than the grossly overtailed guppys that can't swim - sorry if i offend anyone. If i had a spare tank I would plant it up and add those. - Thanks Adam

Hi. I just saw some of those Endlers for sale...very expensive. I'm not a big guppy person, but I wonder if my water would suit them. It is 12 grains, pH 8.5. I COULD be a guppy person. They are very expensive. Would I have a problem finding buyers for the fry?

The Endler is a beautiful little fish. I don't think you would have any trouble selling fry. They are also very hardy, I haven't found any other fish that thrive in the strong current required by the Zebras.

You say they are expensive in Canada? How much are they over there?

I like Endlers too, I've had them for a year or so now. I started out with about 6 pairs and I must have something approaching 200+ now, but it's hard to tell. All I can say is that they are a lovely little fish and are hard as nails, all I ever do is a weekly 20% water change bung some food in every day and that's it. They are great for cycling tanks as well, you need quite a few as they are fairly small. I also like the fact that they are not that common in the hobby. I paid about £10 for each pair, when I first saw them about 5 years ago they were going for £22 pound each :shock: :shock:.

I'm forgetting my manners :oops:. Nice pictures guys and I'm very pleased to meet you all. :lol:

I didn't find them here. There is a pair up for auction right now on Ebay.ca. They ship internationally. They are from Florida. One bid on last I looked. I think auction ends in 2 days.

Wandj, forget Ebays and all the associated risk that goes with it. Try this place and guess what they're in Canada and they ship too :wink: . I hope that $15 a trio is not too much, shipping will be additional. I fancied some of his endlers so as to increase my lots gene pool but they don't ship to Europe :( .

Nice Endler McEve :D , he still looks like he has some more colouring up to do. I'll be more than happy to trade if you can figure out how, never shipped fish before. :?
