The fish, up close
The Red Line Endler Guppy, scientifically known as Poecilia wingei, is a small and colourful freshwater fish species belonging to the Poeciliidae family. This guppy variant is distinguished by its striking red markings along its body, fins, and tail. Males typically display vibrant colours to attract females, while females tend to be more subdued in appearance. They have a streamlined body shape with a slightly upturned mouth, ideal for surface feeding. Endler Guppies are active swimmers and do well in community aquariums with peaceful tank mates.

Plan your setupBehaviour
These guppies are known for their active and social behaviour. They are peaceful and can be kept in groups or pairs. Males may exhibit some chasing behaviour towards females during mating, but overall they are compatible with other peaceful fish species. They enjoy exploring their environment and will often swim in all areas of the aquarium.
Tank planning
Maintaining stable water parameters is crucial for the health of Red Line Endler Guppies. They prefer slightly alkaline water with a temperature range of 24-28°C. Regular water changes and proper filtration are essential to keep their environment clean. Providing ample hiding spots and plants for cover will make them feel secure in the aquarium.
