If anyone is around I would like to bounce off an issue?
The "Panda" Endlers, sold as such with just very young females and small fry has now produced a El Tigre looking Endler male as pictured previously with the slant black bar and the pink spot. Still very young and pale/ not in full color.
But he was able to impregnate all the young females already.
?????
So the question is were these maybe not really Panda (- bought from the auction- so I don't really know, and of course you don't either, so just guess along with me), maybe El Tigre.
General thought, is there even an actual Panda Endler which isn't crossed to a Guppy?
I see it might be a hybridized strain, but not an actual Endler? I was looking for an answer but didn't find one.
Panda Guppy and Panda Endler look very different though.
So does anyone think it matters if I just throw them all into the same group?
It is certain they came from the same auction seller as the Endler colony which males are shown above. And that that group have 2 different males, and they could have just separated these darker colored females, because of their color.
The Endler Colony group had only clear females.
Whereas the so called Panda females have black net look to the body with black shading on tails and dorsal.
In interweb search, there were mostly pics with El Tigre and Panda Endler with mostly clear females a shadow of color on one pic with the tail of El Tigre female.
So...
Throw these 5 "Panda" females and babies into the "Endler colony" where other offspring will likely be the same or into the general mixed Endlers and Guppies?
They need to come out of their temporary 5G with 2 filters, now that their are babies growing up.
Thoughts, ideas?
