where are you guys located? I am breeding pure endlers as well as several people in my local club here in Oklahoma. I have also seen an LFS in San Antonio that had pure peacock endlers but they only had males. there are various types of endlers so be sure and research them before you buy any or pass them off as crossbreeds. Endlers males are much smaller than guppies so that's usually an obvious way to tell. There are also many color morphs among pure bred endlers. A local clubmember has a breeding colony and has had several odd color combinations come out of his group and they are actually quite desireable to try and line breed the specific traits. good luck, Kyle
Looking for clean Endlers

I can certainly wait, I am not sure I have my tank at the specs I want it at just yet. How do they do with Bettas? I have asked around a bit, but I hear they can be nippers? I am stuck in Richmond Indiana for college, and I really havent had a chance to explore the pet stores, but there doesnt appear to be a fish store persay, so I dont think I can get them locally.
I'm not sure how they would do with bettas to be honest, I've never kept the two species together. My endlers live with a few pygmy cories and some amano shrimp.
Is this auction for 3 pairs? All males?NatakuTseng said:
Thanks to everyone for all the good info so far..
its going to be mix sexed. I'm going to try to get 2 positive trios 2males 4 females. The extras I'm sending are still too young to accurately sex however.
bettas could possibly eat the males as one of my friends had a betta that ate neons of a reasonable size. he bit them in half
It depends on the temperment of the betta. I've had ones that wouldn't even try to go after guppy fry.
If you don't mind only getting males this is an excellant source...

Looking at the picture of that fish on that site I would caution anyone from buying "Endler's" from them. Those do not look like endler's, not even remotely close. Chances are they are a Guppy Endler cross. I would deffinately avoid buying from them.
