looking for new livebearers

[guppy breeder]

just as the title say looking to expand my collection besides guppies and mollies really like endler but also like goodieds any one have any good info on either of these? and know where to find them?

[bhughes]

I tried to google, do you mean goodeinae?? :confuzeld: I too love the livebearers.

[kleankord]

I was looking at goodieds and wanted some as well. I have quite a bit of endlers, but most are still really young and don't have much color, but you're pretty far, idk if you want to make the drive.

Ship them in from good sources.

You are over by The Fish Place. They are knowledgeable people and are reasonably priced. They are in the outer ring of stores around Ridgmar Mall. Good Luck on your hunt!

[James H]

The Fish Place had a some species of Goodieds when I was there a month or so ago. Some nice butterfly goodieds and I have seen some Limia there from time to time as well.

You might try joining the American Livebearer Association http://www.livebearers.org/ there are guys on there that will sometimes send you fish for free. Good Luck.

Howard (TxAquaGardens) used to have lots of both species. PM him and ask.

Get them from work! Lol. Make sure and add rare South American Cichlids on the next supplies order and have them ship it. Of course I'm kidding. Don't do anything to get fired

[guppy breeder]

lol and i didnt know that fish place carried them the associates i ask didnt know jack squat.

I can honestly say I've never heard of goodeidae nor goodeis nor goodies :D.

Google seems to have some info.

Anyone here with experience, pics?

Howard gave me all of his butterfly goodied and ive been using them as feeders for my predators... They are very easy too keep and are pigs when it comes to food. I gut-load them with all sorts of food and if i catch any, they are feeders. These guys/gals are super-fast. As with all livebearers, males are smaller than females. I have the yellow tail variety and since feeding them all sorts of food, their colors have been amazing.

To the OP, i can give you some for FREE if you can come pick them up or i can ship them off to you if you are willing to pay for shipping. PM sent.

Here are some older pics of mine

It's spelled Goodeid (Goodeidae).

[AndrewH]

Aweome! Thanks for the info & pics & correct spelling.

[alta678]

They are very interesting. I have some. Many of the goodeid species are extinct in the wild from what I understand.

[guppy breeder]
