Endlers in Melbourne

[sassybees]

Hi all
After visiting SEVERAL LFS, aquarium shops and asking about Endlers, well.....Half of the people have never heard of them and are not in the their fish purchasing book. Does anyone know WHERE I can get them from inperson / or online even....they are soooooooooooo stunning.
Thanks to all in advance

There was a member that brought some endlers from a shop in melbourne but I havnt seen them on for a while. I know the guys at slipperylittlesuckers.com will ship anywhere in australia but it costs quite a few $. I will ask them where the shop was If I see them around.

Hi, I was at my LFS the other day and I mentioned endlers and my lady at least knew what they are.... she said they havent seen any for ages and that when they have been able to get them they are only able to get males...The wholesalers wont sell females (want to keep them to themselves I guess) anyway give "Rayonne Aquarium" a call... they may be able to help you get some...HTH

Thanks for that. I tried calling and there is never an answer...It is in Plenty road, right? Hope Ive got the right LFS
Now I know they are practically impossible to get I want them even more LOL

I'm In Tas which means they at least have to pass through Melbourne to get here. ;D

It took around three months of cajoling LPS around here then two got them in at the same time. Haven't seen any since though.

i would love to have an endler (M or F) coz i wanted to cross breed them with guppies.i heard the result is lyretail guppies(which i totaly love ;D)
To bad they are so rare .
btw are they expensive because of there rareleyness(new word)?

[sammigold]

I would say so.... I had heard that Boronia had them a while ago.... but That was a "while" ago...ages in fact.... dont know where you would get them...maybe have to ring around....
