Description

Introduction: The Green Tiger Endler Guppy is a stunning and vibrant variation of the popular Endler’s Livebearer, known for its striking green and metallic coloration with bold patterns resembling a tiger’s stripes. Endler Guppies are a favorite among freshwater aquarium enthusiasts due to their vivid colors, active behavior, and hardy nature. The Green Tiger Endler Guppy is a peaceful, small fish that thrives in community tanks and is easy to care for, making it an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists.

Scientific Name: The Green Tiger Endler Guppy is scientifically classified as Poecilia wingei.

Water Quality and Temperature:

  • Temperature: Keep the water temperature between 72°F to 82°F (22°C to 28°C) to mimic their tropical environment.
  • pH Level: Maintain a pH level of 6.5 to 8.0, as they are adaptable to a wide range of water conditions.
  • Water Hardness: A hardness level of 10 to 25 dGH is suitable for Green Tiger Endler Guppies, ensuring a stable and healthy environment.

Feeding: Green Tiger Endler Guppies are omnivorous and benefit from a varied diet. You can feed them:

  • Flakes or Pellets: High-quality flakes or micro-pellets designed for small fish, which provide the necessary nutrients.
  • Live or Frozen Foods: Supplement their diet with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, or bloodworms to enhance their coloration and vitality.
  • Vegetable Matter: Occasionally offer blanched vegetables like spinach or zucchini for a well-rounded diet.

Tank Mates: Green Tiger Endler Guppies are peaceful and do well with other small, non-aggressive fish. Ideal tank mates include small tetras, rasboras, Corydoras catfish, and other livebearers like mollies and platys. Avoid housing them with larger, aggressive fish that may see them as prey.

Substrates and Tank Decorations: A fine gravel or sandy substrate works well for Green Tiger Endler Guppies. Incorporate live plants, driftwood, and rocks to create hiding spots and a natural environment. These features also provide refuge for fry if breeding occurs.

Suitable Plants: Guppies appreciate a well-planted tank. Include plants like Java Moss, Hornwort, and Anubias, which offer shelter and help maintain water quality by absorbing excess nutrients. Floating plants can also help diffuse light, reducing stress.

Sexing: Sexing Green Tiger Endler Guppies is straightforward. Males are more vibrant, displaying bold green, orange, and black patterns, and are smaller and more slender than females. Females are typically larger and have a more rounded abdomen, with less intense coloration.

Breeding: Green Tiger Endler Guppies are livebearers, meaning they give birth to fully developed fry rather than laying eggs. Breeding is relatively easy and frequent, especially when housed in stable conditions. Provide plenty of plants or breeding boxes to protect the fry, as adult guppies may eat them. Fry can be fed powdered fish food or baby brine shrimp.

Maximum Size and Longevity: Green Tiger Endler Guppies typically grow to about 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) in length. With proper care, they can live for 2 to 3 years in a well-maintained aquarium.

General Information: The Green Tiger Endler Guppy is a visually striking fish, known for its energetic swimming and playful behavior. Due to their small size and ease of care, they are perfect for nano tanks and community setups. Their beautiful colors and active nature bring life to any aquarium.

A Fun Fact: Unlike many other guppy species, Endler’s Livebearers, including the Green Tiger variation, are thought to be genetically distinct from common guppies, despite their similar appearance. They are prized for their vibrant colors and unique patterns, making them a popular choice for selective breeding.
