    Hy everybody.
    My name is Florin and i am from Romania, i'm a 19 year old guy and a 1 year old aquarium keeper.
    At the moment i have a 18 L aquarium in which i keep 4 red cherry shrimps and 6 microrasbora galaxy, and a 20 L hexagonal aquarium where i have 5 juvenile endlers (2 males and 3 females).

    Thanks for the welcome :D
    i have a question and i can't find an answer with the search button :p
    I have a pure line of endlers (i got them today from someone who has 3 lines probably P or N), and my question is : Do endlers degenerate from inbreeding?
    Thank you

    No they don't. Depending on what strain you have they will give birth to other color variations. You can line breed them if you'd like or simply leave them as they are.

    i really hope they would breed a lot so they would become a more widespread species ;). i'l probably donate a few around here in romania to other fish breeders and try to make this species more loved than guppyes :)) :)) :)) :))

    :) They are great fish. But guppys are just too colorfull and loved by the kiddos. Endlers never'll get better :)

    turns out i was wrong :( one of the 3 females started coloring today and when i took a closer look i realised it had a gonopoidum :) :) :) so i have 3 males and 2 females. should i separate the one of the males so the females wont be stresed out? or can i just leave them there and wait for the babyes to be born?
    thanks

    hmm
    Always have a high female-male ratio
    For example 1 male per 3 females.

    do a higher female to male ratio...min 3, but shooting for 4-5 is even better. That many males will stress the females making them susceptible to disease and even death.
