Endlers dont make good husbands

[partobe]

HI Everyone!
A few weeks back I bought 6 male endlers they had no females where I bought the males. I called back a week later still no females so I bought 6 female guppies(I wanted endlers but couldnt find then) with in a cpl of weeks the females were all dead the males loved them to death. So I find out Pacific had females in so I go buy 12 thinking maybe I needed more females. I have two females left. My suggestion to anyone thinking of buying endlers buy one male and about 10 females.

Hmm... looks like the males you got are aggressive lovers. lol.
I can probably give you a couple of females (I think they are pregnant too) to help start up that endler colony of yours.
They just won't stop bursting up on my tank and filling my 20 with endler fry.
Maybe we can arrange a meet up with smoq for the staurogyne stems so I can give you some female endlers too.

That sounds good to me Jeffmd I just would hate for them to kill your girls. Just let me know how much and when

 

[jeffvmd]

My girls are used to being outnumbered 4-5:1. I have more male in my tank. I just have too much fry right now and the females just keep popping out.

ok great just let me know when where and how much

 

[jeffvmd]

I'll just give you a few of them. I contacted smoq already RE the staurogyne when he will be available. We can probably meet up when that pushes through.

My case is just the reverse, I have a lot more females than males since I started. I think both original male parents disappeared while leaving a bunch of offsprings and the original female widows now. We should have traded to balance out their happy acts.

well I think the male prob wore themselves out lol. I only see 2 preg females and 3 males left in my tank. Jeff is going to give me some females if I become over populated with males again Ill let you know.
