My Endlers are pushing the limits of my 50G, I literally have hundreds too many. If anyone is interested in a free bag or two unsexed (I'll net them but not sex them) please let me know. Free to anyone who is interested in raising/breeding Endlers. Pickup only, I'm in Brookeville Md.
As I understand it there may not be that many pure Endlers left, most having been hybridized with Guppies. My colony is from a couple purchases well over a decade ago from Congressional Aquarium in Rockville.
Endlers are generally quite agreeable and hardy. They like water in the 76-80 degrees, and are very light on bio load. My experience is, if you keep your tank well maintained, have a well planted tank, you can easily go over the one inch per gallon rule with them. If they are happy, they are prolific breeders. They are peaceful with the red cherry shrimp I keep, even in my overstocked situation.
interested, would it be possible to meet at the pvas meeting this Saturday?
