And the Winner is ... Endler Livebearers

Finally, we (yes, my wife and I) managed to find a shop that carries these beautiful little fishes. Yes, I am talking about endler livebearers. If you have not heard about them, just "google" them ... still working on my camera skills to get a good picture. These are fast little fishes (smaller than the average guppies) but livelier.

We saw our first endler at a local fish shop in Penang 2 months ago (on display) and so we've been frequenting the shop ever since in hopes that they will carry it someday ... and true enough ... the day came. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ONLY SELL MALES!!! :(

I was really hoping to get a pair and hopefully be able to breed them but without a female endler, that is just so much I can do. When asked about the female, the shop owner said that he may be willing to scavenge the female for a much higher price but he cannot guarantee that the female will be a pure breed ... FYI, the endlers are known to cross breed with guppies thus "contaminating" the strain.

Still wondering if I should ask him for the female at that ridiculous price ...
