Endlers Suprise.

[Drumachine09]

Well, thanks to devs very well written article (thanks for correcting me on the feeder guppy situation.), I have just identified one of the fry in my live bearer tank as an endlers livebearer, Which is odd. Its odd because i have not purchased any endlers live bearers, only fancy guppies from the most reputable LFS in my area. The coloration is just like ones from the link in devs article. It is very possible that it will interbreed with my fancies, but i dont intend on giving away/selling any of them. I just thought that was really odd. He was born in that tank too, so i know i didnt buy him somewhere.



Weird.

Maybe he's just a runt fancy guppy or somehow one of your fish was a endler's livebearer/fancy guppy hybrid and that was the result.

Thats what i was thinking. Its kinda shocking really. You just look one day, and this fish is a totally different species.

I'd go insane if something I've never had just appear in my tank.

In that case never buy driftwood from Petco!

Every time I do I find some new critter or another in my tank a few days later!

I don't think a fish could come in with driftwood.

I've gotten male endlers from a red cobra tank, I fed them to my buddies cichlids because the chomp the crap out of my temple plants. The females can hold their batch for months until she matures enough to give birth, and you dont know where she's been before your tank!

So youve had this happen to you too? The majority of the other babys (the ones that i havent yet fed to bruce, my green severum), look as if they will turn out to be black phantom delta tails, like 2 of the three females. The other female is a red cobra, and the male is a yellow cobra. I would like to get some greens, but my tank isnt big enough. If i had the room, i would massive breed these suckers to see if i could get a signature strain, and sell it for top dollar to guppy enthusiasts.
