I want someone to find a picture of a wild endler and a wild guppy and compare them to our tank guppies and our "supposed" endlers. I want to know what a true endler looks like. I obviously could type in endler.. but i dont know what a true one looks like.. so someone that does.. help rest this situation. Thanks

unfort. i can get 100% prue endlers from my grandpa, but i can't match his water conditions so they die when i get them. a bad thing about endlers is that they do get crossed alot, where the makada fish was made to not breed altered with wild. on a trip to mexico i found a population of some guppies in a underground cave system, but couldn't identify them. i will search google for you though.

Tanya,

Aren’t these Endlers just pretty?

I found an additional link that might help you with your identification.

[link=Link One]http://www.geocities.com/endlers_livebearer/about.html" style="COLOR: #ff6633[/link] Click also on the Endlers Livebearer link on that page to review additional sources.
