This is a great introduction to Endlers, and why they captured me a few years ago. I am eagerly looking forward to all the videos in this series. Take care.
So awesome. They are a great species to enjoy. Have you checked out Ark BioRite Powerfood? Send us some Endler pictures! Also watch the video on super colonies. All information that even breeders do not know. Blessings brother!
Good to hear my own observations of males moving around and females having a home area with fry and juveniles when given the space is a thing. Only observe it in the 100 gallon stock tank pond, never the 20 gallon tubs.
We see same thing Ben, 100 gallons actually is barely big enough to see the behavior of polymorphic males in new areas. Our stock tanks are 300 gallons. Along this train of thought it is interesting to add a very different and bright adult male to an established tank of a different color variety for one week. Then remove the females to drop fry in another tank to monitor. Interestingly the second drop generally will be identical to the new male used. Since they hold sperm for up to 7 drops of fry it shows that the female selected the new color male sperm. This is consistent with all Cumana Endlers. Thank you for watching!

Hi Dirk, thank you for watching. Dr David Reznick and I communicate for a number of topics, however I would not of been referring to his lab in regards to Endlers. Our lab is extensive and we have been testing theories and collecting empirical data for years. This data is shared with the science community. There are many instances where hands on enthusiasts have access to data the universities do not or don’t even know they need it. Please visit ArkBioRite.com. We formulated and have milled our own food for our fishrooms, lab and grow tanks. The food is sold direct so no middlemen!

Thank you Glenn, most of this was overdue. I hope your colonies are doing well! Blessings
I really enjoyed this video. The Endlers I got from you from you last November are doing great and I am thoroughly enjoying them.

Out of curiosity, are you talking about the Reznick lab at UCR?
