I have never heard any controvery about this particular hybrid. I actually see them a lot. Pure Endlers are rather rare around my area, but I see plenty of hybrids.

endlers and guppies are extremely closely related, I've even seen some arguments that they are the same species. Since livebearers breed like rabbits and they hybridize easily and regularly, people don't usually have a moral issue with it like they would with something like cichlids.

Oh I thought it was contreversial because alot of the sites I have seen bad mouth them and say its controversial. Plus my LFS wont buy them from me because "nobody wants them"

Wow. I was unaware that anybody had an issue with them. I also have heard arguments that the 2 are actually the same species. Anyway, I agree that they are beautiful and fun to own.

I will post a pic later (dont have enough time now) They are really cool. Unfortunatley I cant keep them but they are 15 cents at my LFS because they sell them as feeders since "nobody wants them".

I've also seen arguments that they are the same species. I'm not really sure what to think about it, but I enjoy the ones I have and I don't have a problem with it the way I do with hybrid cichlids or manmade Frankenfish.

NFA: Here is a pic of some of mine. They are yellow tiger endlers. I keep them separate from my other strains. They breed true.
