Up for bidding are the following awesome pieces of livestock:
  • Four young adult pairs of N-class Lime Green Endlers (That's 4 females and 4 males; males are still coloring up.)
Although sometimes referred to as "Endler's guppies," Endlers are not guppies (Poelicia reticulata). Rather, they are a closely related species that was recently (2006) described by a group of German scientists as Poelicia wingei. They were originally collected by evolutionary biologist, Dr. John Endler in 1975 in Lago de los Patos, Venezuela and brought back to the USA, where they became established in the aquarium trade. In the 80's, while traveling in England, Dr. Endler discovered, to his surprise, that his fish had become known in trade as "Endler's Liverbearers." He noted that the fish being sold as Endler's Livebearers had lost much of the color variation present in the original specimens, perhaps because of genetic drift, inbreeding, and/or hybridization with guppies. Native populations of these fish show amazing colors and have a tremendous amount of variation. In the last 15 years, new collections have been made from the populations in and around Lago de los Patos, which, sadly, is threatened by runoff from a nearby garbage dump. (Soon many Endlers wild type color variants may only exist in the aquarium hobby.) The recent collections have added many fabulous new genetic variants to the aquarium trade. Check out Adrian Hernandez's Endlersusa.com for a ton of information about these fish!

The amazing pure wild stock variant of Endlers we are offering in this auction, is the Lime Green Endler. These are the GREENEST wild stock Endler (No guppy genes) that you will ever find! Our photos of this strain are a little washed out and don't do these fish justice-they are really tough to photograph! Their green coloration really changes under different kinds of light. Notice that our first 3 photos are under a CFL 6700K light and the last two are under a slitghtly brighter fluorescent light. We got our Lime Greens from Dan Grummon, who got his from Adrian Hernandez. Adrian got the original wild stock from the collector Armando Pou, who collected them near Lago de los Patos, Venezuela. That is why they are N-class Endlers. N-class Endlers are pure-blood Endlers whose origins can be directly traced to wild collections. Adrian selected wild type Lime Greens for green coloration, and after many generations he obtained some fish that, as you'll see from the pictures, are LIME GREEN and really pop out from a dark background!

If you win this auction, for $15 extra, you have the option of adding a trio of one of the following types of Endlers: 1) Endlers sp#2; 2) Top Yellow Sword; 3) Tiger Endler; 4) Red Chest strain #3. Follow the below link for pictures of these different Endlers variants:

Or, for $10 extra, you could add a fabulous trio of Wild Type Japan Blue Guppies. See the below link for a picture of these beautiful fish:
