And here I am, totally out of space for another tank for the next few months. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/tazfreeatlast/stuff/Smileys/cry2.gif

/me considers putting the bookcases in storage & replacing with a rack of empty tanks currently sitting in storage...

[Disgirl]

Well, you how it is with Endlers! I will still have plenty in a few months, that's for sure! Even if I sell out now, I will keep many pairs and you know how many they will produce in a few months. They sure are pretty little fish aren't they?

What is Class N Lime Green Endlers sorry but what are these?

[Tazalanche]

Absolutely Barb. We have red top yellow swords & black bars separated in various tanks right now. I'll contact you some time this weekend to order some. :D

Dirtyplants,
They're endlers livebearers, which are virtually nonexistent in the wild due to environmental damages in their origin. Class n are actual wildcaught from Venezuela, or true bloodlines of wildcaught from Venezuela, pre-wipeout. They're the purest possible that haven't been crossbred with other livebearers (guppies, mollies, platies, etc.).

Hi Barb - I can't pm yet but I'd like bag of Green Endlers for my discus tank... What would postage run to 60540?

[Disgirl]

Chris, I would use the med. flat rate USPS box which is $13. I use breather bags to ship them so they would do just fine for a few days in the mail. For a bag of Lime Green Endlers I will charge $25 for anywhere in the US, that is for the fish, shipping and my expert packing.

David, thanks for helping with the Adrian pics, and description of what an Endler is.
Barb

[chriscus]

Sounds good to me.

Since I have such a pultry post count can you email me to get the ball rolling?

Thanks so much,
Chris

[dpt8]

Hey Barb.. Good luck with your sales. They sound great.. I bought my wild caught petenensis mollies from Adrian.. He has the best quality fish as I'm sure yours are !! David T :0)

[Disgirl]

Thanks David. Chris, yours will be on the way Monday. Thanks for your order!

Barb I sent you a PM.

[Disgirl]

Received and replied to. Thanks

[napsterninja]

Pm'd!

[Skip]

barb.. do you want me to send you some of mine..
Hi Red Endler..
Black Bar Endler

[Disgirl]

Hi Skip, how are you doing as a married man?? I don't think I want any more now, but thanks anyway. If I change my mind I could always get them in person from you at NADA. I have two varieties now and am up to my knees in both. They really like our hard alkaline water here. They are just such pretty and tiny fish I can't help but really enjoy them. They are a colorful and easy contrast to my huge discus and angels. So very easy to care for compared to the big cichlids!
Barb

[Tazalanche]

What is the other variety that you keep Barb?

[Disgirl]

I will have to wait until I have enough to sell before I "show and tell". They are a hybrid and very beautiful. Maybe next year.
Barb

[Ryan]

Barb, I may take some of these for my dwarf cichlid tanks if they can take 82F temps. Coming from Venezuela I'd guess they're slightly more tolerant of temps than CA livebearers. Do you have any pics of them? What are you feeding them?

[brady]

Are these the original wild guppy? They sure look like it.

Ryan, please check out post 5 in this thread. David posted where I got them and what they look like. As far as I have seen, they take temps from 60-90 degrees. I keep mine at room temp, winter 70, summer 74. They breed more males when cooler temps. They eat anything, I feed the left over powdery foods from my discus dry food containers, once or twice a day. WC only once a mo. or so.
Barb

[Disgirl]

J

Related but a totally different fish. They interbreed with guppies and lots of beautiful hybrids have been "made". But my Lime Greens are from the original wild fish in a part of Venezuela that is just polluted water now. Not many left in the wild of this variety. They are small and the females look drab like female guppies. But the males are fantastic! Males are 1" or less, females can be 2". They produce so many fry it is almost hard to believe.
Barb

[Ryan]

My guess is that they'll love the powdered FDBW Al sent. :D

[Disgirl]

Their very favorite food and a good way to use up that powder!
Barb

[Disgirl]

Once again, $25 for a bag with at least 12 fish, different sizes, male and female, shipping and special breather bag packing included. Some places/people only sell the males. Not me.
Barb

[brady]

Barb
What size tank would be appropriate for 12?
J

[Disgirl]

J, a 10 gal tank would be perfect until you have hundreds then move up to a 20. But 12 would be fine even in a 5 gal. tank for awhile. They sure aren't like discus in their requirements. I had 2 prs. in a 4 gal tank and in a few months had to take them and all their babies out and into a 10 where they all are now, at least 100 of them, many are 1/2" or less.
Barb

[Disgirl]

I am sending boxes of Lime Greens to several people tomorrow, Monday Sept 9. I still have fish left for a few more people if anyone else is interested. $25 for a box of at least 12 Lime Green Endlers, including postage, to anywhere in the US. I am using USPS med. flat rate boxes, the fish will be in breather bags, will be fine in the mail for several days. Just do not let the boxes sit in the sun when delivered. You should plan to meet the postal carrier. I will send tracking # when box is mailed. Paypal accepted. Thanks,
Barb

[Second Hand Pat]

Barb, I am trying to not look lol.

[Disgirl]

Pat, if you look and like them and want some, I will send you a box with some for just postage, $13. It is the least I can do to show thanks for all your work here! Just send me a pm.
Barb

[Wjmulder]

[Disgirl]

Thank you for all your orders! After I send these all out Monday Sept 9, if I have any remaining I will let you all know. As of now, no more orders being taken. But you can get on my waiting list and when I grow out some more I can let you know. In Spring 2014 I will have a different variety to offer, even more spectacular than the Limes.
Barb

[Disgirl]

All orders bagged up and soon to the post office, tracking #'s later today. I still have enough Lime Green Endlers for 4 more bags, at least 12 per bag. If you are interested please let me know today and pay via paypal today, so I can mail them off Tues, to be there before the weekend. Just send me a pm here, I will check frequently all day. Thanks!
Barb

[Discusdude7]

pm sent. Thanks

[Disgirl]

I have enough left for two boxes, 12 or more in each.
Barb

[Disgirl]

I've been out of town the last 2 days, I still have enough Endlers left to make up 4 bags if anyone else wants some. Today a lot of you should be getting your boxes of Endlers in the mail.
Barb

[Ryan]

Mine are out for delivery! Mail guy usually comes by between 2 - 3pm. I can't wait to see these little guys. I haven't had guppies or Endler's in years.

[Second Hand Pat]

Hey Barb, all good here. Hubby was not home when the mail lady was here about 12 so I picked them up from the post office. Cute little buggers and quite pretty. Thank you so much.
Pat

[Ryan]

Mine are here, too! Exploring a 20 long that I used to keep some dwarf cichlids in. Man, I forgot how tiny other fish are. They're in a tank next to a 12" Heros severus pair. The Endler's are nearly invisible in comparison. lol

[Skip]

i just sold off my two tanks FULL of endlers to an Narcotics Cop and another co worker.. here in Austin :) :) i gave him a goooooooooooooood deal!! :)

[Wjmulder]

Hi Barb, they arrived in great condition! Super color! Thanks

[Disgirl]

Thank you all for letting me know they have arrived safely. Now I can start breathing again. Good luck with them!
Barb

[LizStreithorst]

Shipping is always stressful Barb, but breath easy. I'm the only one for whom it is cursed.

Not great but surprised the pics are not to bad.

Wow! Can't wait for mine...set up a separate tank just for them

[Ryan]

Mine were devouring ground flake food after about 30 seconds in the tank. I noticed them picking at stuff in the water column so I put a little in and they went crazy. It's probably the fastest I've seen fish shake off shipping stress.

It looks like I have two large, pregnant females. I anticipate babies soon. :D

[Second Hand Pat]

Barb, is the black dot on the belly area a trademark of these little guys.

[Second Hand Pat]

I just feed mine too Ryan. They were hungry. :D

[bs6749]

I've fed mine twice, and as Ryan said they ate pretty much right out of the bag.

Yep, sure is. Most of the males have black somewhere. Females are drab, just plain grey or gold. But oh how colorful the males are. They live in sewage ditches in Venezuela, they are tough fish.

[napsterninja]

Got mines today! Funny, had a hitch hiker in the air bubble of the bag. It was a mosquito. Smashed it in the bag, since we don't want it to be an invasive species in Ca! All the fish were alive. The females were pretty thin. I wondered if they dropped fry in the bag since I do see extra frys in the count. They all are eating like pigs. I just fed live bb. Thanks Barb.

[Disgirl]

Glad they got there fine! The females had fry recently here, in the pond, I tried not to send very pregnant females to anyone, since they might not travel as well. Yours will plump up soon.
Barb

[Discusdude7]

Barb,
Thanks for the endlers. They are all very active and arrived in great condition.

[Rudra]

Would love to get them. How do I order / pay and could they be shipped to Toronto?

PM sent. Thanks

[Disgirl]

Thank you for showing pics of the fish I raised in a small pond this summer. They show no signs of stress do they? I sure like these little fish, so small, tough and colorful. Now that everyone who ordered has received their boxes of fish, quite a few, I can admit that I have never shipped fish before. So you can imagine how nervous I was. But I read how to do it and just got to it. I feel proud. Too bad discus aren't as easy to ship.
Barb

[Discusdude7]

Barb,
No signs of stress really. Eat like pigs. Love the color on the males, hoping they will make lots of babies :)
btw you did an excellent job for your first time shipping fish :)

[Ryan]

They did great. Luckily, tiny fish are really simple to ship. I ship all my cichlid fry in breather bags via Priority Mail just like that and only had losses a handful of times (and it was always when sending fish to Bugman -- sorry, Larry!). Cold weather is a different story, though. I usually only do the Priority thing through the summer.

[Mandalawi]

Hello there Barb,
New member here mostly because my wife and I ended up inheriting a lone discus. But I was wondering if you still had any Endlers left? I cannot pm as of yet due to being a new member.

[Disgirl]

Yes, I still have some. Can you go to my profile here at SD and send me an email? If not then do 7 more posts, even if they are letters or numbers or few words, here on my thread. Then you can send pms. We will get it worked out.
Barb

It worked! Got your pm and replied. Thanks for persisting,

[Disgirl]

All sold out now, will be growing out a bunch of babies and they will be available later on. I don't mind starting a waiting list. Thanks to all who now have my little fish in their tanks. Good luck with them!
Barb

[Mandalawi]

Glad i got in on this. Can't wait to see the little guys and gals.
Thanks Barb. :D

[lipadj46]

It's pretty cool how fast the males change colors when they mature. I've had what I thought were females change colors over a course of a couple of days and get that nice male colorization

Here's a pic of one of the males with a black worm he couldn't fit completely in his mouth

[Disgirl]

Yep, these little fish are lots of fun to watch! I like to sit close to the tank with a magnifying glass and I see all sorts of interesting behavior that my eyes miss otherwise. I also keep Red Cherry Shrimp in my Endler tanks, they are fascinating too!
Barb

[Mandalawi]

Really? do they cut down on the CRS population? Or just the young ones?

[Disgirl]

I have my Endlers and shrimp in a planted tank with gravel, wood and lots of plants. The shrimp have plenty of hiding places. I keep the Endlers well fed, feed twice a day, don't think they care about the shrimp.
Barb

[Mandalawi]

Very good. I may have to try that.

[Mandalawi]

Annnnnd package is currently on it's way to it's final destination. :D

[lipadj46]

My females spit out about 20 babies today. My 12 gallon long will be filled pretty quickly it seems. Looks like I'm going to have dither fish in my discus tank eventually or black ghost knifefish food LOL!

[Ryan]

Mine are having them like crazy too. I have two big females and they've each dropped babies twice since I got them. Luckily the rams I have them with seem to be keeping them somewhat in check.

[bs6749]

I've got over 40 babies in my 100g tank. My Endler population has nearly doubled. I'm expecting it to within the next day or so lol.

Good to hear my fish are enjoying life in your tanks guys. I have an Electric Blue Jack Dempsey who is growing and will soon be large enough to take care of excess Endlers. They are so prolific I will be forced to do it. Right now I have a 25 gal tank of just beautiful males and will keep adding to it. You have to figure out ways to keep these little fish under some control. Enjoy them!
Barb

[dirtyplants]

Mine are also multiplying. I was afraid to place them into my tank thinking they were so small, but they are fast and can hide in the plants. My big male Brilliant Blue who has been a non eater since the day I got him, I think is feasting off the fry. He has not eaten anything from me for about three weeks now, but he is not loosing weight. He also looks pretty good. This is my idea of self sustaining. I wish I could get the tank to run all by itself with out any aid from me.
