I have a tank full of about 20-25ish endlers livebearers. I've bred all I them. I'm in the process of selling them, but I'm not sure how much they're worth. On average I've seen endlers go for about $3. But these endlers are different, their body colors mainly consist of a dark black color and a very reflective silver. But they also contain bright oranges, yellows, blue-greens, etc. I bought the originals as N class endlers from a local fish shop that I trust. So yes they're N class, but their colors are different than any other ones I've seen and very unique. I am selling all of these at one point or another, right now it is blizzarding in Colorado and I'd like to wait a while for warmer weather before selling them.

Oh man! I wish you were in Ontario, I'd love to purchase some :(
 
If they were mine I would be very happy getting a dollar a piece considering how easy they are to breed and how many you could produce
 
I'd most likely ship them. I've never shipped fish, but I've been shipping plants for quite some time now and I'm pretty confident in my shipping skills.
 
What price were you thinking? I was thinking maybe 3 for $10 or $8 a pair. Have you asked at any pet stores to see if they are interested? They are very pretty colored and I think people would be interested.
 
Can you post another photo? I have both N Class and crosses and those look more like crosses. Adrian at Swamp River Aquatics is the expert and I'd run that by him first. I'd say $2 ea. or $5 a trio.

For anyone reading this, Endlers are really neat little fish to work with. They fill a tank fast.
 
I've thought that these fish had to be some sort of hybrid as well. The original male has almost no black. So it's gotta have something to do with the female that all of the fry are from. All of these fish are from the same 2 parents. For some reason the first male that came from them is far more elaborate and colorful than the others. He is also the largest. I've attached a picture of him as well as a picture of a good group of em. But yeah after breeding them for about a month I called the guy from the fish shop that I got them and asked if they were for sure N class because it didn't seem like it. He said that the ones I got were for sure N class and even claimed to have their "paperwork". So yeah.

They are very beautiful. Once weather permits I would love to have some in my tank!
