About
The 'Staeck' Endler's Livebearer is named after renowned aquarist Wolfgang Staeck, who was among the first to document and bring this population to the hobby. Males display a distinctive orange and black pattern with a characteristic blue-green sheen on the flank. This documented N-class strain is highly valued by purist collectors preserving authentic Endler's genetics.
Care Guide
Maintain separate from guppies and non-N-class Endler's strains to preserve genetic integrity. Keep in a planted nano aquarium with 2–3 females per male. Feed micro-pellets, daphnia, artemia. Easy and prolific breeders. A historically important strain — source from specialist Endler's breeders who maintain documented lineage records.
