Description
Endlers hail from coastal lagoons in northeastern Venezuela and grow to around 4–4.5cm in length. The males are dazzlingly coloured, a kaleidoscope of neon greens, oranges, and blacks, making them one of the most spectacular small fish available for a nano or planted aquarium.
Special requirements: Endlers are easygoing and peaceful, making them ideal for community tanks with other small, gentle species. They prefer slightly hard, alkaline water reflecting their coastal origins, though they adapt well to most neutral tap water. Provide a well-planted tank with some surface cover, floating plants are particularly appreciated, and keep a higher ratio of females to males to distribute any breeding attention. They breed readily, so be prepared for fry if males and females are kept together.
Diet: Endlers are omnivores. At Wirral Aquatics we feed ours EBO Pro Soft Artemia, insect meal and seafood. They also enjoy live food such as daphnia and baby brine shrimp.

Ordering livestock
We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.
If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.
If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
