Endler's Livebearer
Small active livebearer closely related to guppies.
Planning your aquarium
The library starting point is 10+ US gallons. Plan for the approximate 1.5-inch adult size and the species' normal activity, not just its current shop size.
The library suggests a group of at least 6. Count every individual when estimating stocking and swimming room.
Mixed-species aquariums may need substantially more space. Tank length, adult behavior, filtration, and hiding spaces all matter.
Tank setup and behavior
- Check that the source water supplies suitable, stable mineral content.
Dense fine-leaved plants provide shelter for fry while leaving swimming space.
Small active livebearer closely related to guppies.
Food and feeding
Food options: Micro pellets, Crushed flakes, Baby brine shrimp.
Use appropriately sized, complete staple foods and rotate suitable foods for variety. Feed modest portions and remove uneaten food.
Additional care caution
Endlers may hybridize with guppies; keep breeding lines separately if maintaining a pure line matters.
Compatibility
The current rule-based checker does not list a dedicated pairing warning for this species. That does not mean every pairing is safe; review temperament, adult size, diet, habitat and water requirements.
