Diet
Omnivorous micro-predator and grazer that thrives on high-quality flakes or micro-pellets, regularly supplemented with small live or frozen foods like daphnia, baby brine shrimp and mosquito larvae plus some spirulina or vegetable matter.
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
Endler’s livebearers (Poecilia wingei) were rediscovered by Dr. John Endler in Venezuela’s Laguna de Patos in the 1970s and many modern strains, including Yellow Cobra, descend from those tiny endangered lagoon populations now maintained almost entirely in aquaria.
Gender Differences
Males are much smaller, slimmer and intensely coloured with neon patterns and a gonopodium, while females are larger, more rounded and mostly silvery or tan with a gravid spot when pregnant.
