Many display bright, fluorescent tones and striking patterns such as spots, bars, speckling, or metallic sheen. Their fins are typically short and streamlined, giving them a fast, active appearance. Males are the most colourful, while females are larger with a fuller body shape and more subdued colouring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1056\" data-start=\"545\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThese fish are generally hardy and well suited to typical freshwater tropical aquariums. They thrive in planted tanks where they can graze, explore, and use vegetation as cover. Stable conditions and warm temperatures support their activity, colour, and breeding. Due to their small size, they are ideal for smaller aquariums, though they always benefit from extra swimming space and dense plant cover. Avoid housing them with large or aggressive species, as their size and bright colours can make them targets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEndler Guppies are peaceful, social, and constantly active. They spend much of their time exploring the tank, interacting with one another, and displaying, especially the males. Chasing behaviour is usually related to hierarchy or breeding and is rarely harmful, though maintaining a higher female-to-male ratio can help reduce stress on females. They occupy all levels of the aquarium and are particularly active near the surface during feeding. When both sexes are present, they will breed readily and can produce fry frequently, which may quickly increase population over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eEndlers are omnivorous, readily accepting a wide range of commercially available foods. Due to their small mouths, flake foods are best crushed before feeding.

Males use their gonopodium to fertilise females, and females can store sperm for several months, allowing a single mating to result in multiple batches of fry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2681\" data-start=\"2395\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003ePregnant females develop a gravid spot near the anal fin, and their abdomen becomes noticeably rounder. Gestation typically lasts around 3–4 weeks, depending on temperature and conditioning. As they near birth, females may become more restless or seek out quieter areas of the aquarium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3138\" data-start=\"2683\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFry are born fully formed and free-swimming, and can immediately be fed fine foods such as powdered fry food, crushed flakes, or baby brine shrimp. Adult fish, including the parents, may consume newborn fry, so dense plant cover, such as java moss, guppy grass, hornwort, and floating plants, greatly improves survival rates. For higher survival, pregnant females can be moved to a separate breeding tank shortly before giving birth and returned afterwards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3450\" data-start=\"3140\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBatch sizes vary depending on the female’s size and age, ranging from small drops to several dozen fry. With proper feeding and adequate cover, many fry will survive, so it’s important to have a plan in place for managing population growth, such as separating sexes, rehoming, or maintaining single-sex groups.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ripple Effect Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Male 1-2cm","offer_id":46078110859435,"sku":"endler-male-1-2cm","price":3.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Female 1-2cm","offer_id":46078110892203,"sku":"endler-female-1-2cm","price":2.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Trio (1M 2F) 1-2cm","offer_id":46078110924971,"sku":"endler-trio-1-2cm","price":7.82,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rippleeffectaquatics.com.au\/products\/endler-guppy","provider":"Ripple Effect Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
