The Tiger Endler Guppy is a small but stunning freshwater fish, prized for its vibrant colors and striking tiger-like stripes. Native to Venezuela, these lively little fish are perfect for nano tanks, community aquariums, and planted setups. Their shimmering metallic hues and energetic swimming make them a standout in any tank.
Care Level: Easy
Temperament: Peaceful

pH Level: 6.8–7.8
Water Hardness: 8–12 dGH
Tank Size: Minimum 5 gallons

Tank Setup:
Tiger Endlers thrive in planted aquariums with open swimming areas. Adding floating plants or fine-leaved plants provides hiding spots and reduces stress. They are social fish and should be kept in groups of at least six to encourage natural schooling behavior.
Compatibility:
These peaceful fish do well with other small, non-aggressive species such as tetras, rasboras, guppies, and dwarf shrimp. Avoid housing them with fin-nippers or aggressive fish.
Breeding:
Tiger Endlers are livebearers. Males continuously court females, and females give birth to free-swimming fry. Providing dense plants or breeding grass helps fry hide from adults. Breeding is easy, making them a favorite among hobbyists who enjoy raising fry.
The Tiger Endler Guppy is a hardy, active, and visually striking fish that adds color, movement, and energy to any aquarium. Their small size, peaceful nature, and low-maintenance care make them ideal for both beginners and experienced aquarists.
