Yeh I found it interesting that feeder guppies have some endlers-like coloration. Didn't know they had that much Endler blood in em but I'd definitely believe it. However some of the fancier strains of pure-blood Endlers are really pretty (as well as the fancy hybrid guppy/endler strains).

I've longed to raise one of those strains as the occasional feeder. Beautiful fish that also are extremely fertile breeders? Make a nice display out of the guppy breeder tank... hehe. In other news, my girlfriend bought a 75gallon tank (for her piranha) and stand and glass top - and I've arranged the RFUG and PP-rigged aquaclear etc.

haha that sites great! they say the dwarf frogs live up to 30 years (which I doubt). They also say that their full size is 2" at the top, but at the bottom it says : Size at shipping: Full grown about 1"

Pygmy gourami:
"The typical way to tell the difference between a male or female is to look for the female's ovaries with a bright light" (or you can just look for bright red on the fins of the males hehe)

Bettas:
"The more colorful varieties are predatory, so care should be taken in choosing companions for them. The rest are comparatively peaceful"
Is that true?

Kribensis:
"Origin: Lake Malawi, Africa" WTF?

Just remember to keep the dwarf puffers in big groups though eh! Otherwise you may get aggression!

As for the betta bit, they may be confused by less-colourful females being more peaceful than males.
