Endlers Livebearers

[Tropical]

Can I breed endlers livebearers in a 10 gallon tank, or would that be too small. I'd probably do either 1 male 2 females or 2 males 3 females. What do you think?

that tank is plenty large, till they overpopulate it. I'd do 1m and a couple of females. Most likely, the females will already be pregnant when you get them.

Ok, thanks.

A male and two or three females would be perfect.

Endlers don't eat their fry, right?

I believe they do. Some people say they don't, but I've noticed dwindling fry #'s with them just like with my guppies. They are not nearly as bad about it though, I don't even separate the fry from the adults because of it.

Ok, I was wondering if I'd need a breeder net, so I guess not. Thanks.

Yeah I wouldn't bother, they might eat some, but you'll be overpopulated before you know it.

A woman near by me who used to raise them and sell them to local petstores is going out of the hobby, I'm considering buying her stuff and continuing to sell them. Plus, I've always wanted endlers.

Go for it. Sounds like fun. They are neat little fish
