Where got Endlers?

[Cacatuoides]

Hi folks,

I have a spare tank and want to add live and color into it, so thinking of getting some nice exotic looking guppies....

Anyone know or recommend a good place to get those pretty guppies, not those common types....maybe an expert can educate me something about these little colorful ones....

Thanks!

Eman,

either you can go for guppies (There is a place call Guppy Centre) or Endlers.

Endlers are very nice too.

May i know where is Guppy centre?

Is there any websites about guppies and endlers? I'm very new to them...

Thanks!!

[Cacatuoides]

I just read that guppies and endlers can't be kept together, so which one will you guys prefer to keep? guppies or endlers?

[Jungle-mania]

Endlers, any day. I had bad experience keeping guppies, as one died, many followed if you don't take out the dead fish out in time. Another thing, good filter, I cannot emphasise the importance of having one with them.

Where can i get some endlers? how much are they?
whats your experience with them?

Thanks!

I have 2 tanks dedicated to 2 different stains of Endlers... So, I would choose Endlers... Furthermore, Endlers are smaller in size...

You can try EcoCulture or Far East Aquatics. They should still carry at least a strain or 2... Eco might even bring in Endlers for you if you ask nicely.

Or you can go C328. They have a strain and at less than $10 a pair, it is the cheapest around...

[Cacatuoides]

thats cool....I'll probably give Eco a ring tomorrow and enquire.....
Whats the price of Endlers other than the famous C328?

[Justikanz]

Eco and Far East would have them between $10 to $30 a pair... Different strains would command different prices.

You can also send an email to swampriver.com (if I didn't get the name wrongly!) and see if you can arrange for them to send you fish from the USA. You can ask Eco about this too.

Maybe you want to hold on to your thoughts and check this out.

There should be guppies and endlers for sale. As for price wise, show quality breeds would cost a premium but generally, most should be affordable, IMHO.

However, some people just simply do not believe in paying that kind of price for the perceived "longkang" fish.

Thanks for the great piece of info, Quixotic!! I'll definitely check that out....
Can i keep endlers of different variations separately or can i keep them together? How many pairs for a 2footer? Thanks!

[Justikanz]

I would suggest keeping the different strains separately.

As for how many pairs... I can't give any suggestions... I have more than 120 in my 2ft tank, but it is 18" tall and 18" wide!... And I had been discovering new babies weekly...

[Quixotic]

Yeah, best to keep different strains separately. Don't like for them to start cross breeding and possibility of losing the original strains eventually.

[Cacatuoides]

Sounds great....i'll probably start hunting for endlers soon..... hehe
Any tips on keeping them?
