Endler's Livebearer
Poecilia wingei
Endler's Livebearers are tiny, brilliantly colored fish closely related to guppies but staying much smaller at just 2-3 cm for males. Males display dazzling neon patterns of green, orange, and black that rival any marine fish for vibrancy. They are incredibly hardy, breed readily, and their small size makes them perfect for nano tanks and densely planted aquariums.
