{"product_id":"wild-endler","title":"Wild Endler","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eWild Endlers are small, colourful livebearers known for their constant activity, hardy nature, and striking natural colour patterns. Closely related to guppies, Endlers (\u003cem\u003ePoecilia wingei\u003c\/em\u003e) originate from north-eastern Venezuela, where they inhabit warm, shallow bodies of water. Wild-type males display vibrant flashes of orange, green, black and metallic blue, while females are larger and generally silver-grey. Their small size and peaceful nature make them an excellent choice for planted community aquariums.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum adult size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Males approximately 2–2.5 cm; females approximately 3–4 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful, active and social. Wild Endlers are best kept in groups and mix well with other small, non-aggressive species. Males frequently court females, so keeping several females per male is recommended where mixed sexes are maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty of care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy. A hardy species suitable for beginners, although good filtration, stable water conditions and regular maintenance are still important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreferred Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22–28 °C, with approximately 24–26 °C providing a good general range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreferred pH of water:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 7.0–8.0. Endlers generally prefer moderately hard to hard, mineral-rich water rather than very soft, acidic conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType of breeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Livebearer. Females give birth to fully formed, free-swimming fry rather than laying eggs. They breed readily under suitable conditions, and dense plants or moss provide useful cover for newborn fry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWild Endlers are omnivorous and should be offered a varied diet of quality fine flakes or small granules alongside foods such as baby brine shrimp, daphnia and other suitably sized frozen or live foods. They will also graze on algae and microorganisms within a mature aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA planted aquarium with open swimming areas suits them particularly well. Their energetic behaviour, tiny size and naturally varied markings make Wild Endlers an attractive option for nano and community aquariums. As Endlers can hybridise readily with guppies, they should be kept separately from guppies if maintaining a pure Endler population is important.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Art's Fish Room","offers":[{"title":"Male","offer_id":52220403974440,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Female","offer_id":52220404007208,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2342\/6088\/files\/Wild_Endler.webp?v=1786991507","url":"https:\/\/www.artsfishroom.co.za\/products\/wild-endler","provider":"Art's Fish Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
