    I see some hybrids on aquabid all the time, and I want to ask.... Do you think these are ugly? o.o;
    They are poorly bred, that is to say, they are all mixed up. They might make a nice place to start, but as they are themselves... I think they are awfully ugly.
    10 males for I'll guess 17 usd. If I thought I can save most of them I would, but ... Only one in the image is worth it, and I ain't paying 17 usd for one poorly bred endler hybrid.

    to me, those are just poor quality/sickly guppies...there's defin. a bit of a difference between those and lets say what are classified as "pure" endlers.

    Have to admit, they are neat lil fish though with nice coloration (at least the males anyways).

    There are some female guppies with coloration due to constant inbreeding. These fish just haven't been forced into that to such a degree. Sooner or later female Endler's will have the same colors as female guppies...
