My Endler's tank pH is around 7.0-7.2. I get lots of males, but females as well. There are too many in there to really get an accurate ratio (plus they move around so much courting and dodging), but I'm gonna estimate a 2M to 1F ratio. I've learned that letting the pH drift below 6.8 means dead Endler's. Betty GoetzHi Fran, Measure your pH and extropolate ;-> Joking aside, try shifting your pH and see what you get. Even Endler's are not so sensitive they won't tolerate gradual change. June on 12/7/04 3:05 PM, auntie.fran@netzero.net at auntie.fran@netzero.net wrote:Good hearing from you, June! You said: "My experience was that pH infulences gender ratio in live bearers. At first I thought it was water temp but changing that made little if any difference but pH did." Now, please tell us, was it high pH or low pH that produced more females? I'm really concerned about my lack of female Endler's. I don't want to lose my entire colony because they're producing only male offspring. Growing old is inevitable; growing up is optional. _______________________________________________ GSAS-Member mailing list GSAS-Member@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-member_______________________________________________ GSAS-Member mailing list GSAS-Member@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-member_______________________________________________ GSAS-Member mailing list GSAS-Member@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-member
