The detail
Endler's livebearers are tiny, brightly colored relatives of the guppy from coastal lagoons in Venezuela. They are hardy, peaceful and breed readily, which makes them a great choice for small planted tanks and nano setups.

What to weigh
Endlers breed constantly, so a tank can fill quickly. They also cross freely with guppies, and many sold as Endlers are hybrids.
