Fish Folk Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 QT-born Guppy Fry are maturing now. Males look like Endlers (?) or just “wild - type” (?) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some like that also, but I think mine might be the hybrid type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 @Fish Folknavy blue suit guppies! I really like that solid tuxedo type coloration. Fun mutt project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Beautiful babies. Yes endlers and guppies cross they create very beautiful offspring but mine that are crossed stay slightly smaller and the females do not get to the 2.75-3 inch size that my just guppies do. The body patterns on the males are more psychedelic in my opinion. I’m not an expert just happen to have some of each. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineSong Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 He is a good looking fish. I like the idea of filming your starter fish so you can document changes across generations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s wisteria, a hygro that varies its leaf shape depending on light and nutrients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it...its not too dense. Guppy grass can get very dense but it is awesome for the fry to be like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick_G Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 @Fish Folk good thoughts on the wild type/ Endler hybrids. I agree that these fish should be taken seriously. What a great livebearer for folks with small or Nano tanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 With apologies for the GRUNGY tank, here’s a set of Guppies I just found at a Big-Box Pet Store today. Couldn’t resist! Will treat right away with General Cure + E. M. Erythromycin. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Your new group looks like they have some meat to them. I hope they do well for you. I’m in love with your wild endler types. They are definitely jewels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so right that they are underappreciated--there is so much variation in colors, spots, tail shape. To me it's much more fun to see how they turn out. And, watching my blue moscow males swim compared to watching my endlers or ginga sulphureus males swim, there's no competition. I vote for the easier-to-haul tails every time.

A friend who has papered endlers is pretty adamant mine are not crosses, because the majority of males have the classic endler tale. Looking at yours, I understand a little bit better what he was talking about. The one you have with a single "black top sword" is the closest to my males, but mine have more defined, long, *thin* swords: 40% have a top sword (tail is still "lyred" though, just bottom is transparent), 40% have a bottom sword, and the remainder are predominantly a lyre or double sword. I have random males that will not grow either, and the tail looks like a female's. I suspect that the feeders were an endler breeders culls. Your fish look gorgeous!!!! Those firecrackers are still cute, and your newest guppies are amazing. My endlers will eat the duckweed, especially if it's in close proximity to food, or is behaving like food in the water (like your newest batch's tank). Hopefully guppies will do the same 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working with three separate strains: (1) "Mutt" Guppies / Midnight Blues -- 20 gal (2) Firecracker Guppies -- 10 gal (3) Snakeskin -- 10 gal I also have been moving any wild-type / Endler cross that gravid females drop over to another 10 gal quarantine tank. So total . . . I've got four tanks of Guppies. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 1 Endler tank and 2 tanks with breeding female guppies, and I’m planning to muttify some of their offspring with the jumbo sized females I recently bought. My second batch of guppy fry started showing color today, so exciting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Continuing to be impressed with these Snakeskin Guppies. All 3x Females are loading up to drop fry, and fry seem to be doing well from initial drop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
