    No. The JB-Endlers were bred from the JB double sword line I have using a JB-Endler male I got from Germany. You will get fish which approximate the pure JB line with nice double swords but in general the Endler genetics doesn't lend it self to a nicely shaped double sword.

    Celine Dion only had one good song and that is because Jim Steinman (the mind behind Meatloaf's Bat out of Hell and Bonni Tyler etc...) wrote it. Otherwise her repertoire is frightfully dreary. I would not go so far as to say wrist-slitting-dreary as that bench mark is set by Kenny G. Between likes of Beethoven and Hard/Heavy Rock there is precious little in between worth listening to among the cornucopia of %rap that fills the airwaves.

    Long live Barney Simon!

    But back to guppies... There are still many seeking new homes and these are not the tough as tissue paper type guppies you will get at your LFS. These are bred for vigor and do great in planted tanks.

    LOL!

    But this is a very tempting offer... I will see how it goes. Will you have these available from time to time, or is this a once off deal?

    I don't really have space for them at the moment dude... I might be setting up a smaller 30L tank in the next couple of weeks, but other than that, I don't have much in terms of space... I'll have to pass on this for now... Pity.

    Hello,

    @Slagter: There are many young males beginning to color up and as I'm only interested in the top-swords there will be more double swords for sale over the next few weeks/months.

    @Vis: The reds are my photos. The others are lifted off a website. My fish come from Tobi in Berlin who got them from Gernot whose website it is.

    @Cardinalsrule: yes. Again there are many young males beginning to color up.

    I am happy to combine shipping but it may be a bigger box which will cost more.

    Hello,

    I have overestimated my supply of the Japan Double Swords and for the next few weeks they there will be no more. I do still have lots of young Metallica, the red spear tails and the red double swords. All the same price: R20/pair.
