Earning Their Spots

It looks like most of the male endlers are starting to earn their spots and coloration. The picture beside shows 2 of the endler males and as you can clearly see, the orange and darker scale coloration is beginning to form. I guess it is just a matter of time before they look like the full adult males. In fact, even their sizes is almost matching that of the adult.

Also, I think I've finally completed the male-female endler fry count to be 5 males and 3 females. Not a bad ratio but certainly not the desired ratio for my first batch as well. I hope the 3 females make it to eventually provide the long awaited endler brood for the tank ... I guess only time will tell ...
