I have two tanks one has endlers in it the other has guppies. Both are pure strains and are beautiful fish. One day a couple of weeks ago I decided to switch the fishs tanks giving the endlers the biiger of the tanks so they could have more room to breed. sadly I think I missed one of the male endlers because there are now three elongated possible guppy/endler crossbreed females and one very very large possible crossbreeed male. The male is about the same size of female guppy except it has a lot more spindily tale then its regular endler males. The females are a lot moer elongated and not as stocky. Could these be crossbreeds?

just keep them away from your pure endlers and you'll be fine. but as the hybrid endlers breed the endler genes will be bred out of them.

The pic is one of the female (possible) hybrids next to a pen for comparison. It seems much to elongated and large when compared to the other normal female endlers.
 
Guppy/Endler hybrids are infertile so there's no need to worry about futher genetic contamination.
