| A fun discovery...
The Endlers that we got in early November have started dropping fry, right on schedule. It's been about 4 weeks since the males colored up and tonight I spotted a little fry zipping around their tank. We found a total of 7, set them up in a 2.5g and they've been swimming around and nibbling on some crushed livebearer flakes.  I'll make them some baby food tom. and give them some crushed pea for breakfast. |

| Thanks, we picked up 3 males and 4 females in the auction the aquarium society had in november, they were sold as a lot. One of the males died for unknown reasons, but the rest are doing great and we have a bunch of tanks for raising the fry. (Part of why we had to move out the red fancy gups).
We just have an old 4mp Olympus but it still does a good job on pics.  | |

| I'd look enviously at the camera if i could see it.  They're doing good. In fact, we got a Christmas present of 15 more today. 2 of the females dropped fry this afternoon.  Quote:

| I have an old 5 mp Sony. It still works good and stuff but I really really want to get myself one of the new cannons. Our Camera was 800 dollars when we bought it almost 5 years ago when our first daughter was born. I told my husband we were in desprate need for a new one. He was like "didn't we just get one when the baby was born". I was like "ya that baby is almost ready to start school now, its time you got me a new camera". Its so hard to keep up with the technology........spend too much money on my fish hobby  | |

| Isn't that the truth? Our 4mp Olympus was something like $500 when i got it in Sept. 2002 now I want a Sony Alpha model that can be bought with a lens for $1600. | |

| congratulations on the Endler Fry. There's some at my LFS, I may end up getting some once my Guppies have gone >>> A long time I have about 34 fry? 3 females and 2 males.
Just recently put the males and most the fry in the 39gal... to help the cycle | |

| just a little side question....
Guppies and Endlers can breed with each other, right? | |
| | |

| They breed easily. Part of why pure-strain Endlers are harder to find. Quote:

The ones you see at the LFS are most likely hybrids.
It's up to us hobbyist to keep Endlers pure.

| I've never seen any in stores around here. But it's good to know about them being hybrids. | |
