    Sharing one of my favorite endler strains pic. The father is actually a spadetail but I managed to get the offspring with double swords by pure chance. The platinum coloration of the offspring is more intense than their father's. I'm hoping the double swords will get longer as the fish age. If not, I'll try to see that in the next generation

    The genes are stable, all the brothers look similar as shown on the first pic. Need to improve on the double sword. Will let you know when I succeed.

    Thanks. The correct name should be Schimmelpfennig. Platinum. That's German for moldy or mildewy. Some called it German Platinum instead of Schimmelpfennig. I would think in this case Platinum Yellow would be more appropriate perhaps.

    Interestingly I have another brood from different parents and the juvenile males are showing pretty nice double swords.

    Pure wild type endlers are not guppies. But most endlers you find in the lfs nowadays are actually hybrid between endlers and guppies

    I have to add that guppy and endler are closely related. Guppy scientific name is called Poecilia reticulata and Endler is Poecilia wingei.

    C328 and Y618 sell them. Endler can co-exist with swordtail and molly in a community tank with no problem.
    Thanks for the beautiful comment Kohei

    Not expensive anything from $1-4 per fish depending on the strain. C328 sells 10 in a bag for $7 for the common ones Y618 sells individually mostly.

    Re: Platinum Endler Double Sword pic

    Besides the LFS, are there any farms in Singapore that specialises in Endlers or carry a wide range of them?

    Re: Platinum Endler Double Sword pic

    Farms specialize in Guppies may also breed endlers. But I'm not aware of any farms here that specializes in endlers or offer a wide selection. Strains like Orchid, Emerald, Mapleleaf, Lime Green, Blue Star, Capoma...and many more cannot be found here in Singapore LFS/farms. You'll have to import them from overseas hobbyists and a breeding trio at U$100 (without shipping charge yet) is considered a bargain.

    There are some local hobbyists here who breed endlers. You can find them in this forum actually.

    Re: Platinum Endler Double Sword pic

    Hi Guppendler, can you recommend some reliable hobbyists/sites whereby I can import them? Is the import of livestock subject to checks/clearance by our authorities? Or do we just receive them like a normal parcel at our doorstep?

    Re: Platinum Endler Double Sword pic

    There's a guy called Tarzan in this forum who brings in exotic and nice guppies/endlers regularly. You might want to check with him. So far I have not imported any endlers myself so I can't really advise, sorry about that. I do breed and occasionally sell some on this forum, so feel free to PM me if you're interested.

    After 1.5 month more, the tail has grown a little more and the fish body looks more matured also. The coloration is also more intense.
