Metallic Silver Endler

The Metallic Silver Endler is a small, colorful livebearer with a bright metallic silver shine that REALLY stands out when the light hits it. These little fish may stay small, but they bring a ton of color and movement to planted tanks, nano tanks, and peaceful community aquariums.

Metallic Silver Endlers are active, peaceful, and beginner friendly. Like other Endlers, they're constantly on the move, exploring the aquarium, looking for food, and showing off their metallic coloration.

They do best in groups and appreciate an aquarium with live plants, open swimming space, and peaceful tank mates. They're also pretty hardy and can adapt to a range of water parameters, making them a great option for both newer and experienced hobbyists.
