Very nice . I like my chili Endlers but can't catch the females to isolate them when they are ready to have their babies so still haven't bred them.

Very nice Endlers. I see that you have males with white or pale blue dorsal fins, do you also have any males with orange and black dorsal fins?

Here are a couple of my boys to show you what I mean about the orange and black dorsal. This first guy is still only fairly young. DSCF3027_zpsa0dc3f17.jpg P1080471_zps9fb1e028.jpg P1070748-1_zpscf50a731.jpg

The second one has a beautiful shade of pink/purple in the middle of his body, very cool! :victorious: I'd try to line breed that one & see if you can get a all purple Endler :encouragement:

Sorry for hi jacking your thread Wayne, thanks for the compliments on the black bars. Later I will put up some pics of the green tigers that I also have.

You asked for it. This is my green tiger that loves me so much he wears his heart on his tail for everyone to see :tears_of_joy: P1000842_zpscf0c8424.jpg P1070078.jpg P1070075.jpg P1070074.jpg And finally one of my white dorsal fin boys. P1070092.jpg Endlers are the devils own spawn when it comes to getting good photos of them.

Sadly no chilli although I have seen them online. I also don't really have more room for livebearers so no chance of having chilli endlers in the near future. Here are some newer pics of my tigers and ribbon black bars. P1010069_zps78792def.jpg P1010070_zpsa145132c.jpg Annoyingly all the pictures I took of the other males didn't turn out any good because they will NOT sit still. I call this next black bar ribbon tail because the orange top and bottom of the tail looks like ribbons flowing like gymnastic dancers ribbons. P1010099_zps6217588f.jpg

Oh! Please keep posting pictures! Endlers are so cute! :o I have really fallen for those little fish!

Baccus, I love the tiger with the heart on his tail....and the black bar with the white dorsal fin is very pretty.

They are a lovely active, inquisitive little fish, the only complaints I have about them is that its darn hard to select which fish (males) you want to remove from breeding and that the males seem to take for ever to finally fully colour up. I quite like the green tigers but since they are a fish that you need to look closely at to really appreciate their colour and delicate pattern they do not sell well at the local pet shop. The black bars however seem to sell out really quickly. I do like the chilli endlers they are vibrant little fellas. Just need a blue endler and I might finally be able to get rid of our blue guppy population.

      Update to say that after a few gravel vacs, front wall scrub, moss / floating plant trim, that the condition seems to have improved.  My current theory is that it is due to waste / debris management, where "stuff" like that brown mulm accumulates in the substrate and behind the HMF filters.  Maybe some tanks can somehow deal with it, but mine can't.  Also another experienced shrimper suggested that maybe those "shell bugs" don't just live on the shrimps but also in this debris.  Maybe this is the reason some tanks fail due to "old tank syndrome" where all they need is a good gravel vac? Also, I am guessing that plant trim helps too because now more of the nutrients and light go into growing algae instead of more plants? Well anyway for this tank I will try weekly water change and monthly gravel vac / plant trim.  For my next tank, I'm thinking of something like an under-gravel system where this mulm can fall down and I vac it out.

      Good to have an update and good to hear you are getting shrimplets, so hopefully your colony will continue and you may not get to the point where you have to cull some to stop over population. These type of shrimp only live 12 - 18 months so the adult deaths may be natural? If you have the time I would do weekly 25% water changes, adding the new water via a drip system and do some vacuuming clean of the substrate each week, even if only a different bit each week! See if that helps in a few months and if it does then stick with that regime? It should help reduce any build-ups that may be occuring!

      Hello again, much belated update: The tank still has "cycles" of 1-2 month "good streaks" where everybody seems to be doing well, and then a bad streak where the short antenna problem shows up again, and a shrimp dies once every few days.  I am not sure what causes things to go bad, but usually over the course of a few days I will start to see more shrimp quietly standing on the HMF filter, and so I know something is wrong.  Since I am not "doing anything" besides the regular 1-2 week water changes, I just assume that something bad is building up.  Here's a list of things that I've tried that are supposed to be "can't hurt" but didn't prevent the problem either: Dose every other day with Shrimp Fit (very small dose, and the shrimp seem to like it) Sotching Oxydator Seachem Purigen to keep the nitrates lower Keeping the pH below 5.5 with peat Things that I don't do often, so could possibly "reset" the tank back to a good streak, are gravel vac and plant trim, so maybe time to try those again. One other problem I used to have was that sometimes a shrimp would suddenly stop eating with a full or partially full digestive tract that doesn't clear out, and then the shrimp will die within a few days.  I suspected it was one of the foods in my rotation - Shrimp Nature Infection, which contains a bunch of herbal plant things.  I've had this in my food rotation for a few years now and generally didn't seem to cause problems, but I removed it from the rotation anyway.  I don't have a lot of adult Golden Bees at this point so I can't really tell if it worked or not. Overall the tank is not too bad - during the good streaks occasionally a shrimp will get berried and hatch babies with a 33-50% survival rate.  So while there are fewer adults now, there are also a bunch of babies roaming around.  I guess this tank will stagger on, but I really do need to take the time to start up a new tank.  (or figure out the problem)

      If that is the offspring, then the parents are unlikely to be PRL. I tend to agree with you. There are very few PRLs in Australia. And any that claim to be needs to show proof. PRL genes have to start as PRL. CRS that breed true after x generations doesn't turn it into a PRL. Neither can a Taiwan bee shrimp turn into a PRL despite how ever many generations. I've never seen a PRL with that sort of red colour. I have on Red Wines and Red Shadows - Taiwan bee shrimps. So somewhere down the line one of your shrimp might have been mixed with Taiwan bees and is no longer PRL. It just tanks one shrimp to mess up the genes of a whole colony.

      Sorry, missed this one somehow! The PRL look fantastic and the odd ones look part PRL and part Red wine/Red shadow in the colour. They are still very beautiful but ideally should be seperated to help keep the PRL clean if you can do that.  Nice clear photos!
