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.

Your right not many pure endlers for sale but I imagine he wants them for his own collection and isnt going to sell them as pure.

IMO as someone who keeps guppies but looking into the hybrid after finding about it here I find the endler/guppy cross very pretty.

If hes getting endlers from lfs, then the chances they are already hybrids. Pure stock are hard to hold of, trust me.

Well you're getting endlers from LFS? The chances that endlers at LFS are already hybrids. Its nothing special about hybrid endlers, they are already existed and what doing with your fry if you got too many of them?

Wow some crazy looking fish.
I was quite sceptical about why you want to cross breed guppies, but I see why from the pics!

Dude, I was check on computer to see if any new private messages as Im on holidays, everyone need a holiday vacation sheesh. Yes im disagree on pure endler cross to the guppy.

Only pure endlers can be found in a private breeder's tanks, not in LFS stores, who the god knows whats in their tank...because it is very diffcult to track down the pure endlers.

On other hand, you can cross these endlers at your lfs to your guppies, simple.

Honestly, the only thing I know that distinguishes Endlers from normal guppies is size. It seems apparent that the hybrids may be larger than the endler parentage.

Other than that, no idea.

Whether you want to or not is up to you. But, if possible, can you post pics of these endlers so that we can ID them better?
