Sprice Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Not seen him again for a whole day Blanched and shelled a pea this morning but no sign x Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprice Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Still no sign today. I'm thinking he may have died and is now in amongst the substrate. Did a quick check of parameters; Nitrite 0 Amonia 0 Nitrate 2.5 ~ this has come down Have to wait and see but might have to get them aĺl out to try find him. I just noticed one of the guys kind of swimming side ways and curling up almost like he was squaring up to another. I'm guessing this is just flaring/ showing off basically?

Sprice Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks Wygglz, still no sign so I'm guessing he is no more [emoji22] The others are doing well though so not all bad [emoji18] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprice Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 *update* Have just found no tail...dead inside a leaf unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprice Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I would just make sure it doesn't get infected and he eats. nitrate should be 5-20, 10 is about what people like it to be. what tank is that? Biobubble? Sorry, just noticed I hadn't replied to this, it's a biorb halo. XSent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Sucks to lose him, but at least you don't have to go through all that trouble now. Maybe this time get a fem guppy or fem endler and just have fun seeing what pops out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariumlover10 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 If you get females you need 2-3 for every male to reduce stress from being harassed by the males Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprice Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Ah ok thanks for the advice. If I got two then my stock would be 7 altogether. With inevitable babies as well my little tank may be too small Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hey! That's AdrianHD's place! He developed some awesome vars! Adrian had amazing endlers . His yard was tanks, tubs, etc . I have a few of his strain and than he simply disappeared as far as he no longer sells endlers . I and couple others tried contacting him looking for a certain strain but no reply .

With inevitable babies as well my little tank may be too small Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk The males would harass the female non stop but 7 males isn't a bad number as they chase each other around instead of just one . It just so happens that that one particular male may have had 1 or 2 nip him all the time but thick plants help a lot . I have found Cobra strain and the tiny Tiger endlers which are my favorite the most aggressive . The new Blue tiger peacock endlers are stunning . I have only seen them but don't have them but trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Louie, would it look like any of these? http://www.wildguppys.com/page3/page79/page76/page76.html Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprice Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Ooooo very pertty! [emoji7] Decided against getting a replacement today, the 5 of them seem very happy as they are so don't want to potentially stress them or the replacement out. Saw some lovely shrimp cubes today though ;) Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a couple at a place I go to but they were sold on hold . They had shiny blue bodies and great pattern . I emailed Adrian to see if he had them but no reply .

Sprice Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 They are small nano tanks specifically for shrimps but look quite smart I'm in UK xxx Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Endlers have a pecking order which sounds strange but having had just males in a 20 gallon tank I noticed that however good plants are the key . By far I find pure endlers or endler/ guppy crosses much more aggressive than just pure male guppies . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 when I had one endler it killed alot of my guppies. I would get dome hornwort honestly, it will provide alot of hiding space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hornwort or Najas works wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprice Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I went to my LFS yesterday and they had never heard of guppy grass! I went to a few others and no joy. Think I will order some off the net and look for hormwort at the same time. Because of my tank I'm a bit limited with plants, can only really have very hardy plants in there. Got a couple of little Anubias and some others in there and there's lots of little nooks and cranny's to hide in.
