My new Endler's lifebearers
I got a pair of Endler's from Nature Aquarium...
A friend commented they might be hybrids mixed with wild guppies. I initially thought so too... Am now waiting for the female to get pregnant. If the babies produced are of similar colour and pattern, then the chances of them being hybrids are lower. Else...
Oh, well, they are pretty fish in their own right... Just that we should not encourage artificial hybridizations.
Oh, only the male Endler's are colourful Female Endler's are plain silverish grey...
Here they are...
