Name:
Male Endler Guppy / Endler’s Livebearer

Scientific Name:
Poecilia wingei

Description:
A small, highly colourful livebearer closely related to the common Guppy. Males are particularly striking, displaying combinations of orange, red, green, yellow, blue and black markings. Their small size, constant activity and bright colouration make them an excellent choice for planted and smaller aquariums.

Origin:
South America — native to coastal lagoon systems in northeastern Venezuela.

pH:
Approximately7.0–8.5

Temperature:
Around24–30°C

Adult Male Size:
Approximately2–3 cm

Lifespan:
Approximately2–3 years

Food:
Omnivorous. Feed quality crushed flakes or micro-pellets supplemented with small frozen or live foods such as baby brine shrimp, daphnia and cyclops. Vegetable and algae-based foods can also be included in their diet.

Compatibility:
Peaceful and active. Male Endlers can be kept together in a colourfulmale-only group, which is an excellent option if breeding is not desired. They can also be kept with other small, peaceful community fish. Avoid large, aggressive or predatory tank mates. Endlers can crossbreed with standard Guppies, so keeping them separate is recommended if maintaining pure Endler bloodlines is important.

Habitat:
Prefers a well-planted aquarium with plenty of cover combined with open swimming areas. Floating plants and fine-leaved plants are particularly suitable. Gentle to moderate filtration is ideal, and Endlers generally thrive in stable, moderately hard to hard water.
