Suggestion on how to maintain hybrid endler?

WARNING: Graphic-intensive, may take a while to load

I recently bred out a tiger-redchested? hybrid which I think looks not bad. Please refer to picture (2). The male parent is a typical tiger endler who is now dead so no pictures. while here's an example of the strain the female parent belong to, is redchested a suitable name?:

Picture (1), redchested strain?



And the following is the product of the breeding:

Picture (2)
Please comment. I feel that its quite nice with its significantly more pinkish-red patches(probably from the redchested? heritage) than the average tiger. Even the lower portion of its caudal is pink. But now I thinking of what to breed it with to maintain the trait, eg half pink caudal, more pinkish patches. Experts got suggestion? however one problem is I may be mistaken by saying its a hybrid, because my tank might be previously mixed with tiger females as well without me noticing. So this might still be a pure tiger endler. Please enlighten me if I'm wrong with its hybrid-strain status!



There's only one which look like the one in Picture (2), while the rest looked more like its redchested? parents with a few spots here and there(from the tiger heritage). One example:

Picture (3)
This one with spots on its caudal. A bit flowery pattern, looks a bit nice. Please comment too.

Hi, your second picture looks like a snake endler to me, I had this strain for quite some time and is already breed true. If you need the female, let me know, I can give it to you.

ok thanks for the clarification, this means that I possibly have a female tiger endler still in my mix. Now I have to fish it out. I tot my tiger got a bit more pink than usual that's y its hybrid.

From my experiment of crossing the redchested? strain and tiger strain, I think I can see the dominant trait is the redness. is this correct conclusion?

Mind if u share some of ur male tiger endler pics?

Tiger endler should be yellow base body with black vertical stripe. I still maintaining the tiger and snake line, l am staying in the east side, let me know if you are coming.
Best regards

nice nice endler, bro

Thanks mark tan again for clarification of my strain of snake instead of tiger.

For bros interested to look at my pictures of my chapalang endlers can go here, I created a slide show to save time loading pictures one by one.

There are a total of 4 different chapalang endlers among the photos.

Appreciate any comments or advise on which one can continue to use for further breeding.

Note:can press + to speed up the slide show.

2nd pic meaning the snake endler right? or u refer to the last one half redchested half snake.

because Mark bro here clarified the tiger i mentioned is actually snake. so now a bit confused which one u referring to haha.

Did you mange to have pure offspring for center red stripe(redchested)? i would say a hybrid snake on the 2nd pic, nice shot! The double sword is thick, good job!
