Beautiful!!! Soon you’ll be able to start your own CPD shop. Hmm are you looking to sell/ship them at some point?

cd,
I’m thinking that by the time it is warm enough to ship this spring I will have enough to share Comparing to Glen’s amazing photos I have some fry in the 3-4 week range, which means they are spawning inside too

ste,
I had many rainbow fry, and endler’s livebearers. No sign of the swordtails or any bluefin killis. there was a frog in the wading pool, so I don’t know if it was responsible for some missing fish or not. the swordtail hadn’t ever had babies for me, so I don’t know if it was something wrong with them? I bought two cool looking male guppies today to breed with some female endlers.. I am anxious to see what their offspring will look like. they are separate from my pure endler’s population of course.

thanks!
Oh yeah, I can’t wait til about April when I can put some fish back outside. I bought a 300 gallon stock tank too :shock:
I don’t know what I’ll put in that, probably the rainbows and something else??
After seeing how great my CPD pair looks that was out there, they are definitely going back out.
I might put some Endler’s back out… there are some sparkling gouramis at my lfs I’ve had my eye on forever!
Any other ideas?

I have heard negative things about cross breading guppies with endlers. I’ve never done it myself (I got sick of guppies over-breading on me, so gave them away), but have heard that the offspring are sterile, and genetically weaker. Just a heads up for ya.
