Well Theresa, these are just a number of strains which I'm keeping and breeding. There are more than these pics show.
About the tigers... I've got three kinds overhere. The regular one, the red version and the blue version. The last two are my own creations. I know that in the meantime also in other countries like the US the red one is also available but those who created the same strain have used chilli endlers. And I didn't! For tiger hybrids already do have a red gene in them. And it's just a matter of trying to get that red appearing on their bodies.
I've noticed that in the US also snakesin endlers are called tigers from time to time. But there's a real difference between a snakeskin pattern and a tiger pattern. I've also got the so-called leopard endler. This is also an own creation.

Being active within a broad network in western-europe within the field of livebearers, I am able to get my hands on a various choice of livebearers. Which means also rare endlers (no matter N-, K- or P-class).

I've got a couple of strains which are my own creations. I'm still working on a white endler. One pic is also shown overhere. But they have to become more white.

And like I've already mentioned on this forum is that I'm judging endlers (all 3 classes), fancy and wildguppes in the Netherlands and in Germany at competitions and international championships. In Germany I'm the only dutch judge for Germany's largest two livebearer associations, the DGLZ and the IGPD. I'm also familiar with the AFV (the french livebeaer association) and Poecilia Scandinavia. We keep eachother posted of what's happening within this field.

Been active within the aquaristic field over 40 years now. Started as a young boy and never stopped. And wildguppies are a passion for over 40 years by now as well...

Take care,
Stan
 
Its only a 10g for now. And thanks! When I let the males out, they were all over the females. It was a free-for-all!

Wow, the males are relentless, aren't they? I have a new 10g, think I might make that the boys club so the girls can get a bit of a break....

And speaking of males, here's a new one:

Congrats! Some of my females have been going behind the filter, I assume to drop fry but the crazy males just won't leave them alone. How long would you suggest I separate them?
 
I notice a very different shape once they've dropped their fry, so perhaps once you notice a more slim female, you can return her to the male tank a few days or a week later so that she has some time to recuperate.

Also, I went from 3 fry to 12... Several females have dropped and I'm letting them recuperate before letting them back in with the males.

Since removing the males I think I have close to 3 dozen fry.

By any chance do you know anyone who sells males only? I'm looking for tiger or lime green.

Not a great quality shot but I wanted to share because my young males are finally starting to show some blues and greens :flowers:

Many thanks Theresa! It's weird, Endlers are still not easy to find in our aquaristic shops too... I can see some in local "aqua-bourses" only (held by a few local enthusiasts). To be honest to say, Endlers are my the most favorite fish (with a common krib :wink:), I love these "Little Indians"! They have still something wild in the genes, and they are not so overbreeded as guppies (sold by our shops "in tons") often are... :roll:
I really appreciate your Endlers' thread on Aquarium Advice and I'll keep on following it! :thanks:
