FS: PURE Endler colonies

[Yadokari]

Need to thin my endler tank, maybe even get rid of all of them...
So, I need to sell my endlers by the chunks. I will be selling them in groups of "starter colony". Each group will consist of at least 1 pair + endlers of various stages.

How do these colonies work?
Simple, you basically get endlers of various stages. Plop them into your cycled tank and let nature take its course. The adults that are shipped to you should be pregnant already. By the time their new babies pop out, the young adults that I have sent should be mature already and pregnant. The babies that were shipped should then be young adults by then and thus, the cycle goes on. You'll get a nice colony within 2 months or less.

My endlers are blackbars and some throw out peacocks, PURE endlers. They have never seen or crossed with a guppy before.
Extras will always be sent, but the offer below is what I can guarantee.

Here is what I have to offer:

1 Endler pair + 3 young adults + 5 fry. (It will be a mix)

$12 dollars per colony
One colony is enough to fill a 10G tank, so keep that in mind.

Shipping will be 7 dollars for the first 2 colonies.
3 or more colonies will be a $10 shipping charge.

If you would like to simply just add a few more fish to your colony order, PM me to discuss. I can only add fry or young adults to your order though. :cry:

can you provide better pics i want to beef my current colony and throw new genes into the pool and i want to make sure i like these before i invest in them. also do you garentee(srry cant spell) live arival?

[Yadokari]

I will guarantee live arrival if the buyer can provide me a clear picture of the dead fish in the bag. I must have that picture by no more than 2 hours of its arrival (timer according to the PO). DOAs must NOT include extras.

If the above requirements have been fulfilled, I will give you two options.
A. Get a refund for the dead fish(es). No refund on shipping though, sorry!

Or

B. I can send you new fish again, plus a little bit more extras to compensate the deaths of the original fish. You will have to pay shipping though.

As for the pictures, these buggers are EXTREMELY hard to take a pic of. The minute I come close to the tank, they start swimming around frantically, as if I am about to feed them. I will try to give you better pics within the hour. :-) Someone is using my camera at the moment, hehe.

[Yadokari]

Here's some decent pics of the males that they have been breeding with.

There's a flametail in this picture, he is not for sale. Though his blood has been mixed in this colony. I mixed a bunch of colonies together to strengthen their line.

[austinpetemo]

where did you get your endlers? and how long have you had them. also what do you feed them what are your water parameters and how do you ship your fish.

[247Plants]

Im interested.

[Yadokari]

I have a mixture of origins with these endlers. A majority was from dtran, a few from MG and a few from my LFS.
I feed them a mixture of flakes, micropellets, microworms, frozen bloodworms and sometimes live tubifex.

If you're interested, they will be shipped in breather bags. I can only offer coldpacks for the first few buyers. I am low on it, though the weather has been pretty good lately. So I doubt anyone would need coldpacks :-)

[247Plants]

Where are you shipping from?

[Yadokari]

San Jose, CA

Local pick-up is welcome (and encouraged!)

[247Plants]

Sweet...you could ship to me with no cold pack. I will get your paypal and all that tonight after I get off work or you can pm it to me and I will transfer when I get home.

[Yadokari]

Just PM me when you are ready, so you can ask questions and make requests if you have any :-) It'll be easier that way.

[austinpetemo]

ill probly get a colony with a few extra adults in it. i need new genes in the pool.

what is the PH of your water
and at what general temp do they stay at?

and also what kind of plants do you use to keep the fry from getting eated. i have java moss but the PMS pregnant fish go in after the fry.

srry for all the questions but i just want to know the specs b4 i buy them

[Yadokari]

My water is around 7.0-7.6. Depending if I want to clean out the tannins or not. Currently at 7.0ish.

I keep them in a tank with a lot of java moss and java ferns. I can't keep too many types of plants in this tank, due to bad lighting.
I have never really witnessed my adults eat my babies. You can usually avoid this behavior by simply feeding them at least 2-3 times a day.

I should probably add that adding adult pairs to your order is very limited. Mainly because I need to keep adults to continue more colony deals. Packages = more fish removed from my tank for me and it works out better for me.

To add fish:

$5 per pair
$1.50 per young adult
$75 per fry


Adults will go by pairs. I don't want to end up with like 20 females in my tank and 3 males. You can only add up to 1 adult pair per colony order and as much as young adult/fry as you want (as long as I have it in stock). Sorry if this is an inconvenience for anyone, but I do hope you understand why I limit it :(.

[luckydud13]

If we bought say 1 or two colonies, would you throw in some java?!? :D

[Yadokari]

Not sure if that has anything to do with endlers... but uhh, sure. If you want.

[Yadokari]

UPDATE: I can take in only 2 more colony orders at the moment. I may have more than that, but I don't want to "oversell" if I end up not having enough.
