Diet

Omnivorous micro-predator and grazer that thrives on high-quality crushed flakes and micro-pellets, regularly supplemented with small live or frozen foods like daphnia, brine shrimp and mosquito larvae.

Community Compatibility

Peaceful nano livebearer ideal for planted community tanks with small, non-aggressive tankmates such as rasboras, tetras, Corydoras and shrimp that won’t nip fins or swallow adults.

Good to Know

Yellow Cobra Endler Guppies are designer hybrids of Poecilia wingei and Poecilia reticulata, named for their snakeskin body pattern, and are part of the wider Endler–guppy cross trend that boosts colour and hardiness but can threaten the genetic purity of wild-type Endler strains if mixed indiscriminately.

Gender Differences

Males are smaller, more slender and intensely patterned with the yellow "cobra" snakeskin motif and a gonopodium, while females are larger, plainer and more silvery or gold with a gravid spot when pregnant.
