CorydorasEthan Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hello everyone, I have two male Endler's livebearers and a female guppy that have bred. The Endler's livebearers are very close to the wild form, but I do not know what breed of guppy the female guppy is. They produced many different fry, but produced the most of this type. Is has a yellow-and-black tail and fins, with maybe a silver and lime pattern across the body. Could anyone identify if this is a certain strain of guppy? Thanks.

Daniel Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 It looks like a tiger Endler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 But you may be the creator (if the female wasn't already pregnant 🙂). Female Endlers don't show the colorful tail pattern like the one in photo above, so she isn't an Endler, but the male is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorydorasEthan Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Yeah funny story the female actually came into my tank as a small fry when I bought a bristlenose pleco and then grew up and mated with the Endler's livebearer males I have in my tank already.

Paul_Obermiller Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 They look awesome! You should breed them so the front of the endler guppies colors show off better that would be amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorydorasEthan Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Thanks! In the past when my (then) only Endler's Livebearers would breed, I'd just give the babies to my local fish store and keep a couple of the males (the males I have now are from that lineage). But now, with the guppy genes, I figured I might try to breed this strain and start selling them as "fancy guppy/endlers" they reproduce. Also from the same "litter" (they have the same mother and the male Endler's livebearers are the only fish she's mated with) as the tiger-looking endler guppies shown above was a couple of red ones, which look pretty cool too. It is really odd that they are a way different color. The second picture is of both them and their fathers (endler's livebearers). Does anyone know what this kind might be? Thanks again.
