The Blue Star Endler or Poecilia Wingei is arguably the most stunning variation of this popular species, instantly distinguishable by its deep blue body which is highlighted by a glowing gold belly and beautiful orange highlights. Similar to a common guppy, this blue Endler only grows to between one and two inches making it ideal for micro aquariums, however be mindful of mixed-sex groups as they are prolific breeders!
For whom is the Blue Star Endler suited?
The Blue Star Endler is suited for both beginner and experienced aquarists thanks to their hardy nature, friendly temperament, and ease of care. Small and conveniently sized, they can thrive in both small and large tanks and are safe to pair with other peaceful fish - their floaty tail can be a target for nipping fish so be sure to avoid these tankmates.
What are they like?
Endlers are highly active, friendly fish who love to investigate their surroundings and
therefore could disturb any docile tankmates. Their inquisitive nature and active lifestyle make them fun to observe and enjoyable to keep. The Blue Star Endler is best kept with groups as a naturally schooling fish, and looks particularly impressive when swimming as a unit thanks to their vibrant colors.
The ideal conditions for the Blue Star Endler
Native to South America, the Blue Star Endler prefers a heavily planted aquarium with a sandy substrate filled with lush flora and floating plants to provide comfortable hiding spots. Endler typically occupy the top level of the tank but enjoy swimming in the open water, so provide enough space for regular activity. Endlers aren’t afraid to jump, so ensure a tight lid is fitted in case they decide to escape.
