Endler's Guppy Poecilia wingei

Known to aquarists as Endler's guppy or Endler's livebearer Poecilia wingei is a species native to the Paria Peninsula of Venezuela. First collected from Laguna de Patos in 1937, it was rediscovered by Dr. John Endler in 1975 who introduced it to the aquarium trade. Although rare in the UK they have been very popular in the USA for many years

Hardy and undemanding in the aquarium though they prefer hard, warm water, their optimum temperature being 24 °C (75 °F) to 27 °C (81 °F). This is slightly higher than their guppy cousins which prefer 23 °C (73 °F) to 25 °C (77 °F).

They are prolific breeders like their guppy relatives. They give birth to live young approximately every 23 days, typically from 1-30 babies depending the age and size of the mother. The fry can be fed powdered fry food, baby brine shrimp, and crushed flake food.

They will crossbreed with other guppies, giving variable, yet fertile offspring, so if you want set up your own breeding strain its best to keep them separated from your other guppies
