Metallic Silver Red
The Metallic Silver Red Endler is a stunning little livebearer with bright silver metallic bodies, bold red coloring, and that classic active Endler personality we love! Males really shine under good lighting, showing off their iridescent color as they zip around the tank.
Endlers are very similar to guppies, but they usually stay a smaller size and tend to have a fun, busy attitude that makes them super entertaining to watch. They do great in community tanks with other peaceful fish and are a great choice for adding movement and color!
What we feed Endlers
We feed Endlers a balanced diet of high-quality flake food, frozen foods like brine shrimp and daphnia, and occasional live foods to ensure optimal health and vibrant coloration.

I’ve had Endlers for three months now and they’re still active and colorful. They don’t eat much but I feed them flakes and frozen brine shrimp twice a week. They get along well with my tetras.

They’re small but very active. I noticed the males show off their colors more when the tank light is on. Feeding them a mix of flakes and frozen food keeps them healthy.
