Lucky my mother guppy died i got 10 fries

For my 66th birthday, my son got me an Aqaurium. So it is not always young folks getting into the hobby.

When I had the first incarnation of my shop I had a large polytunnel where I grew pond plants in various containers and I put endlers and guppies into loads of large green water containers from late spring to early autumn. They fed on mosquito larvae, daphnia and whatever flies went into the tunnel (I left a light on during the night to attract midgies in) so they had perfect food. I wish I was making videos then as the colours which were on some of the hybrids were incredible - we put them in the shop and all sold in one weekend, lol Can't wait to see what you get from this experiment.

It's the same in my workshop all the insects from my koi pond hatch out and invade the tanks to their doom. Should get some nice colours from these. And yes I wish I was in to KZread back then I was breeding and keeping all different fish from black diamond stingrays alligator gars would of been very interesting for the viewers.

I have to admit I wouldn't have watched back then as I have a bit of a thing about people keeping big fish species so I'm very pleased you've evolved beyond that phase - The species you keep now is what my shop was full of - interesting community fish which are very happy in well made aquarium systems. I've always liked smaller species of fish as they can be kept happier in more suitable environments.

Doing a great job filming the simultaneous breeding projects Mark! Keep up the great content!

My guppies have been producing endlers hybrids for months. They are beautiful

Have one male developing now, that hybrid has the body coloring of the endlers and the tail is still developing, dont know if the tail will stay rounded or if it will have the fraying tail like some other regular guppies. The color is beautiful. Really curious how the other colors will develop. Tough to find the patience, takes a while to see the fish as it is fully developed.

The kids look quite nice and healthy Mark. Really looking forward to seeing what turns out with the hybridization. I can't wait until we get to the Congo tetras which are showing signs of spawning behavior every time I get a quick glimpse of them. I simply LOVE that fish.

Thank you so much for sharing this great video as always Mark, very interesting as well. I put two females and one bared endler male together yesterday and then I went and watched the video of the same thing lol 😂. Well done Dawn in winning the coolest tank out. 👍🏻👍🏻⭐️⭐️

I'm doing exactly this right now, Japanese blue endler males and unknown fancy guppy females from a beautiful mother

great video, i bred my black bar endlers with a guppy and iv'e never looked back,i've got a wonderful display tank now that my grandchildren refer to as the water butterflies. love your channel,something for everyone. x

Nice video there mark . Will be very interesting to see how they come along . Brilliant mate

Great project Mark I love live bearers especially Endler guppies, well done Dawn for winning the fish tank 👍🏻

Awesome video! Thanks for the inspiration! Now I need tank number 4 and get some big guppy ladies for my endler boys!

got guppies when I was a kid....did cichlids.....tetras ...salt water fishes....but always end up with endlers or guppies. Great video...keep it up.

Congrats on the new babies, Mark. Congrats Dawn, on that cool tank.

Awesome! Thank you so much. They are beautiful. Love your videos

What i like to do is crush some spirulina waffers and tetra min flake food in a peslamorter to a fine fine dust. Then use a paint brush to dust some in 2 times a day. Then go over to artemia after about a week. Another awsome video sir thanks Happy fishkeeping.

Looking forward to watching these little hybrids grow up!

Cool tank design Mark...wow! Lucky gal :)

I love your Black Bar Endlers. This is going to be very interesting to see.

great stuff as always bruv..can`t wait to see there adult colours..

I put Japanese Blue boys with Regular Endlers and I'm getting stunning red and blue Endlers. I can hardly believe my eyes they're stunning. Next project Tiger Endlers with albino and regular Endlers... Looking forward to black add and stripes. :)

Looking forward for the collors mate

Great entertaining videos and no licence fee to pay. What’s not to like. Last Christmas I was given half a dozen endlers male and female. Put them in my tank with neons and dwarf corys. Ended up with hundreds of them as a guess 400. Luckily I could return them , and I kept 4 hopefully only males. They are beautiful little fish and as you show in your video very easy to breed.

Looking forward to the updates on these guys. I counted at least 40. Endlers and guppies are my favorite fish, leaning to the endler side. I love it when you give the bench tank a good long viewing and I can watch your black bars playing. That one with the black tail is gorgeous, looks like he might be a hybrid himself. Some of the most beautiful guppies are endler/guppy hybrids, as I'm sure you already know. :) Just really looking forward to seeing how these turn out. With her being what looks to be at least partly a dumbo ear, there will probably be some really stunning ones in there. If you want an idea on something that's even more underappreciated than endlers, look at picta guppies, also known as swamp guppies. They are really getting hard to find here in the states, with prices up to $125 a pair (when you can find someone that even has them in stock).

I've been breeding my own endler/guppy x for about five months - based on a flag tail hybrid I found in the local shop and a Japan blue female. I've also introduced a female San Jose endler from a group I keep and what I've noticed is that the physical characteristics - tail, colouring etc come from the male with (apparently) temperament coming from the female (that Japan Blue was a monster - combative, bad tempered generally - thankfully the San Jose are a more laid back group). The local shop is happy to take the extras, so I'm not overflowing too badly :)

Hi Mark, just noticed that you use sintered glass filter media as substrate, do you find this works to kick start a tank? I just used some of this that I grabbed out of a filter as I wanted to quick cycle a small tank for quarantining some new fish. Reckon it should help?

Hello mark i recently came across a species id never seen or heard of ,the betta macstroma ,would you consider having a go at breeding them ,and i ll look at what you do and try and give it ago cheers mate keep up the good work

You make it look so easy, but it isn’t easy at all, the breeding process needs patience

I bred 1 male two yellow females and got the red chrome gendler and the leopard fires been doing hybrids for a few years and now on the guppy endler platy hybrids life span 2.5 years add calcium blocks and powdered koi pond sticks for colour

I bought new fish, and 2 weeks later I put them in my community tank. According to the trader, 2 weeks of quarantine was a long time. But within 1 day all the fish became critically ill and I had to start over. Therefore this question: how long should you quarantine new guppies? One month? Half a year?

what kind of plant do you have at the top left sir?

Endlers and guppies are the same specie of fish so interbreeding is a given. Would be nice to see the genetic results. Is this something others would want to do?

how long do ur guppies live mine only last a few months they have babies then die very wierd any ideas thanks

I had one that looked like the one you got with the bad stomach. It lasted two weeks and was eating fine but it died off.

some endler and guppy females can grow to what are called "giant" sized females. They also seem to live longer and produce more fry.

Will endlers survive outdoors in a rice fish 5 gal pond?

How do you prevent the female from birthing spring from males it already mated with

Can a male guppy cross breed with a female endler ? I'm a curious beginner.

I remember back in 1997, when I got my first 55 L aquarium, I woke up one morning and saw a guppy babies swimming among floating plants. After some time corries start to lay eggs in community tank and then I was like:"Wtf I should do, I'm still a noob in fish keeping"

@cryoraptora303tm2

5 жыл бұрын

lol I used to be under the common impression that endlers were super-rare and threatened with extinction but they're nowhere near as endangered as people think... Tons of them around, even females. If you want to breed pure endlers all you need is an eBay account and you'll find male and female endlers within 10 minutes. I know that they're supposed to be losing their habitat in the wild due to pollution but there's so many around in captivity that we'll have no problem replacing the losses once the country it's in (think it's Venezuela) catches up to the rest of the western world and the pollution drops. In this day and age with how weak guppies are, I find hybridising them with a much less inbred species to be very useful for their diversity and hardiness, not even taking into account the natural diversity of hybrids. On top of that, the male hybrids tend to look highly impressive; my 1/2 yellow micariff 1/2 endler males both look very unique and attractive. Females are drab as hell but that's partially fixed by adding more female guppies, something that I'm currently looking into carefully as to not add disease bombs into my stock and kill my hard work... With how selected and unnatural fancy guppies are, there's no point in pretending there's any sort of purity or natural order to protect with hybridising them. There's something to argue with endlers but this kind of argument for fancy guppies is invalid. In fact, hybridising them with endlers is probably more natural than what we've done to them over the years...

@cryoraptora303tm2

5 жыл бұрын

@Alpha Centauri With all due respect, what the hell are you talking about? Nobody said anything about endlers dying after hybridisation... Although I agree with the rest of your comment, endlers are much more common than they used to be. Back when I was only a 10 year old kid getting a few colourful guppies for my little 5 gallon tank (which I still use to keep shrimp and raise cory fry), endlers were nowhere to be found. In the past few years though, lots of people have started breeding them and you can usually find them in a store if you look hard enough, and a quick search on eBay brings up plenty of results. They're not rare and there are plenty of pure endlers being bred as we speak. The only problem is that any sexually reproducing organism can't start appearing out of nowhere; due to their explosion of popularity, a lot of inbreeding has started and most captive stock has inbred history. Although they are nowhere near the level of other fish, if inbreeding continues then it will eventually get to the point where guppies are at now: deformities with every batch of fry no matter how good the parents are, severely weak immune systems, next to no hardiness etc. etc.. The list of problems goes on. You can cull physically unattractive or deformed individuals, but you will never be able to test who has the best immune system, and it will inevitably decline as inbreeding goes on. Inbreeding won't cause genetic abnormalities from one generation, or two or five, it's over tens or hundreds of generations of selective breeding that these severe defects start becoming more common. Look at Kaimuki Backyard's stock. He's been inbreeding sunset micariffs at a rate of 3 or 4 generations a year for about 9 or 10 years now. Considering that he started from already extensively inbred stock, the outlook doesn't look good. It's got to the point where genetic defects like giant guppies, theoretically impossible yellow micariff fry and large numbers of hunchbacks as he calls them popping up. That's just the tip of the iceberg though; they probably have huge deficiencies in multiple organs and systems, and unhealthy hyperactivity or hyperefficiency in others, most importantly the immune system. I don't know for sure but they might be getting to a point where decreased fertility might be becoming a problem. It's only a matter of time before his stock crashes and burns with some sort of genetic disorder that is impossible to prevent with that level of inbreeding; perhaps an entire generation is born with physical defects or are giant guppies, or perhaps the colour starts to degrade; his guppies look a lot different from how they used to; there is much less orange in the tail of the males than there used to be. His stock is some sort of horrific genetic disorder waiting to happen, and is why you should try to introduce new blood every four or five generations, even if it is the same strain and is still distantly related. A couple generations of third or fourth cousins breeding is much better than brothers and sisters inbreeding uninterrupted. From what I can see, he never introduced new blood into his original sunset micariff line. His new neon micariff line will obviously take a lot longer to reach the same level as it has a non-inbred background... sort of. Less inbred than most strains.

I did a recount and got 35 +/- 5. I suspect that there around 40 total. I had endler/guppy crosses too back in the 80s. I think I even had one that was a endler/guppy hybrid platy cross. It had the size and finage of a large male endler/guppy cross and the coloration of a sunburst platy. Narrow but long dorsal fin and a spade shaped caudal fin. He was my favorite, but I never got any more like him even though I separated him out with his own harem of females of endler/guppy crosses and platys. I suspect he was sterile. The females with him did have fry but I suspect they were from other previous fathers as they looked nothing like him when they matured. None of the young females I added seemed to get pregnant. :( He was a stunning bright golden yellow with metallic flecks on his front half darkening to a burnt orange on his back half with the spade tail having a red dot in the center of an bright orange field and bright yellow-white edging. His eyes had the endler/guppy blue ring around it. I so wanted to make a strain of guppies from him and was doing to call then Star Burst guppies after him. The only guppy I ever gave a personal name to.

This didn't work out for me at all. The female offspring are completely identical to the guppy female, and the males have absolutely no variance in their body coloration, they are plain copper at their heads transitioning into black toward their tail just like the females, only their tail fins have some color variation to them.

Why dilute the endlers? They are endangered! 😲
