About
The 'El Tigre' Endler's Livebearer is a captivating strain with bold black tiger-stripe markings over an orange-gold body, collected from the Laguna de Patos region of Venezuela. Males are tiny but brilliantly coloured, making them ideal for nano aquariums and species-only setups. They breed readily and their fry are easy to raise.
Care Guide
Keep in planted nano aquarium with 2–3 females per male. Feed micro-pellets, daphnia, artemia nauplii. Hardy and prolific — will breed continuously with sufficient females. Provide floating plants for fry refuge if survival is desired. Do not mix with guppies — hybridization compromises the strain's characteristics.
