for my thinking those fish are ugly bar the guppy endler cross. they almost look ill.

the molly cross limia thing looks very very similar to a normal silver/green molly cross with black molly. ive got a heap of them. its not a matter so much of being able to cross anythign in poecillia. there are many natural behavioural traits and environmtal that come into play to stop hybrids happening. the further apart the harder and you have to work at beating whats stopping you. i still have never seen a guppy molly cross.
Duh! the muppy or golly are rare.

There are already hybrid endlers in hobby anyways so just simple get these hybrids from other aquarist. Oh by way I dont think you should cross pure endler to the guppy as theres not lots of pure endlers around here.

They are already separated species. There are lots of endler hybrids laying around here, why you need just pure endlers and pure guppies for what? There are too many endler hybrid strains in hobby, so you can just simple buy them.

Sorry just because there are plenty breeders, doesnt mean there are lots of pure endlers.

yet again not trying to be rude but....
just because i want to breed 1 or 2 guppies with 1 or 2 endlers is not gonna ruin the hobby. most of these will end up in unsatisfactury care any way so whats the big deal??? most will die with in weeks if not days of arriveing to the store or in someone who just thinks thier "pretty" and knows nothing about aquaria. I dont want to buy them plain and simple.
deal with it

Still its big deal to the pure stock of endlers, so just buy the hybrids anyways. You will have hard time to find pure stock of endlers. Why you still want to hybridizing a hybrid thats already existed and nothing special about guppy x endler... same thing with black molly x sailfin molly, nothing special about them:screwy:. Majority of these endlers are already hybrids anyways.

We are against hybridizing pure endlers as they are rare and not common these days.

be against it all u want but its not hard for me to get these(and if its not hard to get then i might try it)
2 different pet stores get them around me for CHEAP
im not trying to fight just state my point
theyre there and i might do it, if i want to then i will. Period.
they breed like crazy any ways so me using 1 or 2 for what i want is NO BIG DEAL
