Hihi interesting discussion.............. I think you can scoop some of the endlers in the drain. When I used to bred cichlids, I used to scoop from the drain as supplement to buying from LFS to cut cost. I noticed that most of the endlers male were quite interesting in color. I've seen doubleswords, nike endorsement in various colors, bottomsword, topsword but not the broad tails like the fancy guppy has. Sadly they turn the drain into a huge one and covered it up since the place is quite flood prone.

Well about the livebearer. There were actually some disguises from some species (which I didn't have time to check). There were actually 2 groups of livebearer (or actually not) i.e. oviparous and viviparous. One of it is a pseudo-livebearer meaning it actually layed eggs in it's abdomen and merely act as an incubator for the eggs to hatch meanwhile the other actually feeds the eggs until it's old enough in the abdomen to be delivered which is the true livebearer. However I'm not sure whether this forum was arranged that way.

Any way do all of you know that our guppy belongs to a different family? There were discussion to replace poecilia so in future we will not mention guppy as poecilia reticulata. However they said they'll retain the reticulata since it's a species name.

Just my morning rambling. Correct me if I'm wrong.
