Some pics of my Endlers.
These guys live in what is fondly known as the feeder tank.

Will post more pics as the weeks progress.
The out of focus male in the background is the line I will be keeping, along with a strain that has spotted black and green markings between the tail fin and the body.
When you refer to feeder tank, are you referring to these fish been used as feeder fish?

Correct
I feed my other fish theses chaps.
What I have started doing is selecting which males
i don't want, and they go first.
[yoda voice]Hmmmmm, much flaming I sense... Dark side is strong with you... [/yoda voice] :viking:
I think you might be in for a fun thread here! Hehehehe... I don't see the harm, as long as the weak and bad quality ones are going. But some people will see this as cruel, even though it happens all the time in nature.
Actually endlers would make for good feeder fish - parents are less prone to eating the fry, they have a good hit ratio and you get a trusted source of live food. Being able to use them means that you also have less chance of tank sprawl.
Nice Endlers Gilbertr14,
Did you get them from the Prof ?

Yup they from the Prof.
Interesting,
It seems that just about all the Endlers in south africa originates from the Prof.
Nope gdt78, Vis also has a strain in SA.
Actually there are 3 endler strains in the country. One from me, the Prof and Tyrone Genade. All true endlers but you can see that they are from 3 different locations.
Do we know who else besides the Prof imported them ?
