Endlers (Poecilia wingei) are actually very closely related to Guppies, and will readily hybridize. Endlers tend to be smaller, but are still livebearers.
Care for them as you would guppies; as they are similarly hardy and adaptable to community tanks!
Green Cobra endlers have stunning green and black patterning! All males, about an inch long.
Remember, if your temperatures are below 40 Degrees Fahrenheit, you must purchase a Heat Pack for the Live Arrival Guarantee to apply! One needed per order; find it here: LIVE ANIMAL HEAT PACK
Cassandra's Notes:
I personally feed them everything from the OmegaOne flake and pellet line, to both frozen and live fish foods, to blanched veggies. Endlers, like Guppies, are generally not picky eaters and will accept a wide range of meaty, quality food.
Endlers are easy to please. They live in a wide range of freshwater tanks and would prefer community, planted tanks. Endlers should not be kept with nippy fish that might pick on their fluttery tails.
They can also be kept with peaceful invertebrates such as shrimp and snails, however there should be plenty of hiding spaces for any baby shrimp you wish to keep.
Recommended Water Parameters:
- 65-80 degrees F.
- 10+ Gallon tank size
- 5.5- 8.0 PH
- 10-30 dKH
I ship insulated with medicated water, and Purigen, by tracked and insured USPS Priority only, and use cool packs when needed.
Do consider purchasing a heat pack if the temperatures in your area are below 40 degrees!
Please arrange to pull these little guys right indoors once they arrive to your mailbox. USPS also has a free mail hold service on their website. Please utilize this service if no one can be home.
While in quarantine before being sold, we treat all our live fish with the ‘Med Trio’; Maracyn for Bacterial infections, Paracleanse for internal and external parasites, and Ich-X for fungal infections.
