The Japan Blue Double Sword Endler's Livebearer is a truly exceptional variety that is sure to be the highlight of any aquarium!

 

The Japan Blue Double Sword Endler’s Livebearer (Poecilia wingei "Japan Blue Double Sword") is an extremely colorful, peaceful fish whose small size makes it absolutely perfect for the nano or planted aquarium. In addition to stunning blue body coloration, this variety also has a double sword tail that is often highly gold in color. This fish is very similar to the larger common guppy (Poecilia reticulata). It is very hardy, especially for such a small fish.

 

Endlers typically occupy the top level of the water column, although they can often be seen swimming and feeding in the middle and bottom levels as well. They are also not afraid to jump, so they must be kept in an aquarium with either a lid/hood/canopy or at least a significantly lowered water level. They will not eat or bother plants. They are safe with other peaceful fish as long as the other fish are not known to nip at the long tail of the Endler. Adult dwarf shrimp are generally safe as well, but Endlers may eat shrimp fry. Larger, peaceful invertebrates can also make good tankmates.  Endlers are best kept in groups.

 

While not a picky eater, the Japan Blue Double Sword Cobra Endler’s Livebearer will thrive and remain very colorful on a varied diet of meaty foods supplemented with spirulina or other nutritious vegetable matter. High-quality and flake food, pellets, and frozen or freeze-dried tubifex and bloodworms will all be readily accepted.
