A few pictures of my endlers.

 

Poecilia wingeI "Classe N" ( Green flame)

Hi,
Once again, I got some Endlers.
Quality fish, bad photos...

 

My first ever Endlers

These guys aren't show quality or anything (I don't intend to breed at this point, so I have all males) but they are still very pretty fish

 

here is one of my endlers, I would love it if some one could tell me what type I have.

 

here, does that help?

 

Here is some pictures of mine. I have some babies too... waiting for the other female to drop hers anyday. she thought it was snack time as I had both females in the same breeders net. sorry for the water spots..

 

It's blurry, but here's mine.

 

My male and one of my females.

 

Some of my endlers. These little guys and gals came from Cichlidnut. A couple of the fry born earlier in December turned out to be black bars. The rest of the males are chilis. The gravel in the males' tank isn't the best color for them but it's what was in there.

 

Endlers in my new 10-gallon planted tank.

 

I love looking at everybody's Endler's! Here's a pic & a video of my male tank--I know, I need a real camera, but all my money is going into keeping the fish happy!

 

(Re)introducing Mouche, Tumbleweed, and Juanico!

Mouche has turned into a semi-colon boy with that unmistakable spot in the middle of his side. Juanico has quite an elongated comma. Tumbleweed is a peacock and very green so far, but he's sitll quite young and could change a lot.

I know, I know, I still need a better camera :b

 

Here are some of mine...

 

And some more of mine...

 

So hard to get pictures of these guys! I bought these 2 from Petsmart and they were completely gray when I bought them. It was so awesome to see them color up when I came home and put them into the proper tank Can't wait to get some more!

 

Not only do I love the way Endlers look, I also love the way they behave. Here are a few pics of some of mine.

Some endlers of mine...


Santa maria bleeding heart (hybrid)


Lutino endler (hybrid)



Tuxedo endler (hybrid), aka HB endler or Black flame endler



Campoma nr.3 (wild strain)



Cumana Rainbow endler (wild strain)



Blue orchid (hybrid)

I've got way more strains overhere both wild and fancy strains. But this is just to show some...

 

I actually got rid of all my endlers to make room for a new guppy endlers hybrid I bred.

 

Does anyone know if this is a K class Tiger, or snakeskin or something else? I have a few of these in a 10 gallon hex tank. My fish store has some RED endlers! Should I buy them and put them in their own tank? There are no females..... The rest of my endlers are Orchids, then the Peacocks, new K class(unsure of exactly what kind),

 

Mystery find I fell for at the lfs. Anyone know what type this is, or if he's a hybrid? He was in the communtity endler tank, so he's almost certainly a mix of some sort, but is there anything close?

 

The more common black bar we got with him. In the right light his tail is really green

Don't know why I missed this post of yours before this. He's a K class ChilI Endler Hybrid. Very cute

 

Here are some pics of my K class Rainbow Endler Hybrids. They throw various color morphs, and I'm having a lot of fun with them.







And here are a couple of my N class Staeck Endlers. I was surprised to see how much blue they have!

 

Well, those staeck endlers can be very diverse. Overhere at my place I've mixed up the N-class linebred version with the wild phenotypes of those staecks. The wild phenotypes were given to me by Stefan Hetz from the University of Berlin when I was being a judge at the international endler championship overthere.

These are my first live-bearers, mostly just bought for display and not to be bred any time soon.

Can anyone tell me what each of colorations is called? I don't think they're uncommon but pictures for endler IDs are surprisingly hard to find.

Left-yellow with red spots
Middle-pink-purple
Right-blotchy orange and black

they might not fit certain color/patterns but i'd say blonde, magenta / shocking pink, and red chili

 

From left to right:
Blonde endler, ChilI endler and a mix of a tiger hybrid and chilI endler.

Mind that chilI endlers can be red, pink or magenta. Because of the störzbach gene (coming from the guppy influence) that chilI endlers carry, the coloration may become more pale (specifically in combination with magenta and pink) after some generations.

My two male endler hybrids.

 

Male Guppy/Endler tank...
So we still have the guppy male that EmeraldKing helped identify is a 'Tuxedo Red', as well as 2 new additions.
1 'Tiger Endler' male and a 'Green Endler' or is that a 'Black Bar' ? male...wow these are harder than Danios to get a decent picture of! Lol

Your green endler is a black bar endler.
I myself do breed a green endler. I've called these greens neon green endler. They don't show any red or orange. You can establish this by using the Asian blau gene.





I've managed to let them breed true.

Thanks! I was wondering if he was a Black bar when I purchased lol.

These look awesome, very flashy green for sure, Great work!

I used to keep limegreen endlers from the Cumana region in Venezuela for years. But with that strain, culling (selecting) in every generation was needed to keep the quality high. I was pretty much done with that. But still had the urge to keep and breed green ones that were more steady in phenotype. That's why I've started this project last year. And they do breed almost pure now.

 

Considerable amount of time for sure, I imagine quite a long journey for me and my son with these species...gonna need more tank! But an easy excuse for our mts !

What other species do/have you kept?

The history of Endlers has to be one of the most diverse and unfortunate so far to learn about.
Really fascinating though, how Hobbyist's and breeders have molded the Endler and sometimes preserved original strains.
The many diverse endler/guppy mixes out there and more still coming out... Definitely a fun yet busy fishroom fish!
I don't know how long that shelf we have will stay as empty as it is now lol

I appreciate your reply and sharing of knowledge...a lot of ppl seek money out of just good information these days, so a site like this for a hobby like this is 100% needed.

 

What other species do/have you kept?

I've kept several kinds of fish throughout the years. But my main focus has always been livebearers. And a specific focus on rare (wild & fancy) species.
Try to take a look at my website: www.emeraldking-aquatics.com. It's not a commercial website but an informative one and it shows me as being a serious aquarist.

 

The Green Endler.

Nice males. Which female is the tequila sunrise?

 

Thanks! The one with the red tail is the Tequilla sunrise

Awesome, I will definitely check out later today

 

I put my two male endler hybrids together and they instantly started to do a dance/play fight. It lasted way longer than I’ve seen my past males do it.

 

A bit late to the party discovering these little buggers, but I’m hooked now. At the start of Covid I setup a 10 gal aquarium with some guppies to teach my son life cycles and practical chemistry application since I was going to be homeschooling. A few days after stocking the tank, one of our guppies gave birth. Ffwd a month and one of the fry is clearly different. Ended up doing a lot of reading about what he was and over time took the aquarium brackish. That handsome little fish is now fathering his own handsome little fish.
