Are endlers a nice kind of fish. Just wondering because they are kind of cool.

I love our little Endlers. They're beautiful fish, hyper and small. Like all livebearers, they can really crank out the fry but they tend to eat at most a few fry, sometimes none.

Endlers are great little fish.
We have a tank of them here at the fishhouse.

I happen to have "inherited" some from my science teacher and was wondering if they were a relatively rare, or just highly desired? Thank you.

No. Endler's Livebearers are one of the most commonly kept livebearing fish in the freshwater fishkeeper hobby.

Are endlers any relation to guppies? as Ive not raised endlers yet. I have guppies.

Dino

Yes, they are both in the genus pocilia and can interbreed.

COBettaCouple

Yea, definitely keep gups away from any pure strain Endlers that you get.

fintail

thats cool! I didnt know they were closely related.

I read that many pet stores dont carry endlers

Butterfly

Usually what pet stores have are Guppy/Endler hybrids. Their very pretty but don't hold a candle to pure strain Endlers which can be more easily acquired from other hobbyist and sometimes from Aquabid.
