10 Gallon Endler Hybrid Tank

Well, I went to the petstore to simply get a new filter.... But I ended up leaving with 4 new fish. These are (atlest mostly) Hybrid Endlers. They are a little below my standards, but one male fish is just amazing:


The rest are blue =P
Group shot:

 

Oh, so thats what you call him? =3 He is a pink/pearl with a deep red at the tips.
The females look prety run of the mil, but the males have all the trademarks of Endlers, the dot placement and the sword blurs. They are prolly just some old throw aways, but lets see what I can make of them, eh?

 

lol,like I've said before =P I'm not concerned with it myself, but I want a solid genetic like to fall back on for later breeding. Reason I fussed over the idea of a random hybrid in my bb tank is that it risked giving me fish that didn't breed true (tho I've noticed that alot of those bb Endlers are starting to throw out a few awfully sick fish. I've made a few culls here and there, but I'm worried that I'll see more and more of them as we go ... But, if I'm lucky it was just a particular female's first drop, and the rest will be fine. If not ... Well, I'll have to do some more pruning...

 

XD It's the two males I bough that I CAN'T get images of XD I've been trying!
Either way, they will be hybrids soon enough. I placed two females form my other tanks into it and now I'm just gunna wait.

 

XD Well, today as I was working on sorting my Tiger Mess out I lost both the males I was calling Hybrids. Oh well =P
I had already place in the tank Endler Females, so it won't tank long to have my hybrid lines forming.

Added the pool sand and will add the drift wood from the 50 gallon tomorrow as I clean it. All my tanks will have pool sand tomorrow afternoon, if not then I curse the things that stop me!

lol

 

I'm not sure who's fry I got, but I got some =3
I expect the Tiger Endler Female I placed in the tank is the mother. She's lost some weight =P

 

The guppy male and female I'm crossing with the proper endler mate

 

It's still being cycled.
All my tanks are at this time.

The pool sand seems able to grow algae like no tommow, but the full cycle is taking a lot longer than I normally expect.

Other two tanks are looking better, and honestly so is this one. I've started doing a 10% partial every morning on it.
The filter is new but I took some old filter media and placed it in there. That may also be part of my problem?

And thanks. I actually dislike this one. It's full of spaces for the java moss to go tho =D

 

o.o; Wow.
The media comes from my other two tanks. I figured I used one part for each tank and I'll have a quicker cycle with the seeded bacteria?

 

lol, wish I could tell my girls to stop =P
But the other two are "done" cycling so it works out well. Just gotta keep on top of this tank.
Water change then feeding time! Getting canned crab today =3

 

... I've started seeing some agression from my female guppy. I noticed some white spots on the Tiger Female I have in the tank, and as such was concerned. After sitting in front the tank I noticed the guppy nipping at other fish and chasing some around. I may seperate her earlyier than I had planned, but it's going to be for whats best.

I'm worried these injuries will become infected since the tank is still cycling T.T;
