So I’ve had this endli for a while. I think she’s wild caught but not sure from where. Can anyone tell if she’s wild caught or captive bred? And if wild anyone know where she might have come from?

I can try to get more photos if these aren’t enough.

I am by no means an expert on identifying endlis but if i had to take a swing at it im leaning towards CB where did you get him from?

This is a super nice captive bred endli! I say this because of the pattern uniqueness shown. Finlet structure, head shape, and face trait does not resemble a wild caught. More importantly, markings on the belly are indicative to a designer CB endli. Very uncommon occurance. So, it's now worth double if u decide to rehome :)

Just other hobbyists. Not sure which vendor it came from. So I wasn’t sure if cb or wc.

Yeah I’ve only seen 2 endli with belly patterns and this one hands down is more impressive. It’s fully covered...just impossible to get a pic. I got it because the lower jaw looks bigger then a normal endli and the belly pattern was a nice addition. Added a couple of pics to show her crazy personality.

Thanks. I’ve been debating on selling her. Need the money but don’t wanna let her go lol. The tank is an 180 gallon long. The Vieja don’t fight much...yet. Only when someone pairs up does the fighting get bad. I lost a male green Texas overnight when he tried protecting a spot. But other than that no other losses yet.
 
I concur with Vancouver_98683 Vancouver_98683 's observation (froggy eyes being the main reason for my concurrence. Nonetheless a very unique and lovely piece. Thanks for sharing :)
