    Is it possible to breed an endler's livebearer from the hybrids they sell for feeders? in other words, is it possible to breed the guppy out of the hybrid so that only the endler traits are left?

    Any fish can be sold as "feeders".

    You can breed a guppy/Endler hybrid to Endler's only to the point you cannot tell it was ever a hybrid but once an hybrid ALWAYS a hybrid.

    thanx, thats kinda what i figured. I think i'll work on it for a while and see what developes.

    The actual endler's seem really hard to find around here. I might look into getting some shipped, but the temp has been below freezing for over three months and below zero for a week. I don't think they would make it.

    I sell/ship Endler's but not in this weather. Even with heat packs it's far too cold for them.

    This is my website. LoL

    I usually sell them in trios unless you want larger groups.
    Here is my previous thread I had when I sold them last time: Class N Endler's Liverbearer's
