    I’m looking at changing the stocking in the Jungle tank away from live bearers towards schooling fish (gotta mix stuff up sometimes).

    I’ve moved my favourite male Endler guppies out of the jungle tank (to keep).

    The rest are up for grabs- about 20 pregnant females, a few males, and plenty of fry.

    Collection only Rondebosch

    Uhm… with a net? :lol:

    Jokes aside they’re actually quite easy to catch because they are super inquisitive and not too bright :)

    You're really lucky. I too was interested in how you managed it without destroying your tank.
    My endlers are a nightmare to catch. They're far too bright (and crazy fast) and quickly swim to hide in the one spot I can't get to. The only ones I can catch are the newly born babies as they swim at the surface in amongst the val. I've given up even trying to get the others. Waiting til I tear down the tank to move it and rescape. Only then will I even stand a chance of catching the others.

    I did actually! But my endlers were just crazy fast and agile and always managed to evade the net.
    I did manage to get them all out after deconstructing the entire inside of the tank when I moved it though.
