    Depends on your source of the Endler's, it could be either. Adrian has line bred some Endler's with a snake skin chest.

    Body shape mainly. If you post a picture I can tell you what I think. It's been my experience that most Endler's found at pet stores are not pure. That's not to say no one sells pure Endler's at a pet store but from what I've seen it's unlikely.
