Timmy Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Just a quick question. If a male endler and orange female guppy bred will the female fry have colour on them? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darennkj Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 My guess is that most likely a large proportion of the female offspring will have no colour. But there's only one way to find out...do it! Daren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brengun Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 If you think you are going to sort out coloured females from uncoloured females and then put the uncoloured females in with endlers to breed pure endlers, its not going to work. It may take 4 generations to breed that guppy blood out back to endlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessismore0433 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 But yet again that is only 12 months (4 generations and sexual maturity at 3 months) for four generations with the way guppies/endlers breed..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutters187 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Why would people buy them? If it's just for you go for it but I can't see any market. IMO anyone into guppies wants pure strains, and even then you are constantly working on them to get them the way you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brengun Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Keep lids on guppy tanks. It is not unheard of for a guppy to jump over into the endlers tank. For this reason I would only classify my top most endler tank as wholly pure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessismore0433 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Yeah I would't buy crosses.... Having too much fun with pure guppies to worry about endlers atm anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtwalkert28 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 endlers look very attractive, try not to cross them as it is so hard to find pures around as it is .. its a shame to do it .. pure guppies are da bomb altho theres nothing like a guess on what fry will turn out like from a batch of non pures...

darennkj Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 It's more fun to guess what will come out from crossing two pure strains... And it's also different when you cross male to female vs female to male... Exciting experiments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
