Species: yellow jacket/Tiger endlers live bearers

How many: too many to count

How long trying: wasn't trying just thought they looked cool but then wouldn't stop having babies

Any successful spawns already: assuming only half of each spawn survives and based on number I have now and number I've given away I'd guess about 50

Set up:75 gallon planted

Any triggers/other information : male + female = babies

watcha got... way to many. If you live in the Philadelphia area and would like some let me know.
 
Growing up some L260s, hoping to breed my L46 and L201 soon!
