Endlers Livebearer?

I was over to FITN and I was reading some posts and I see that they just put up a profile for it http://fishinthe.net/html/fishguide/fishguide_fish.php?FC=205&nl=&nt=1

I was wondering..are these fish hard to keep? has anyone ever kept them?

yeah I breed these little suckers for a time when I was breeding guppies for extra cash as a kid. They are very closely relateds to the guppy, platies, and sword tails. they require the same basic care as a guppy would. they are awesome little guys who I think are equally as beautiful as guppies and seem to have more personality. The only thing about these guys is that they can be hard to find, and as far as I know illegal in some states, but you'd have to check up on that though, I'm from Canada where we usually don't have such restrictions.

IF you are interested, Check out Alloddballaquatics.com, they sell them for about $5 a pair. I picked up a few pairs last year and have a few tanks full with them right now.
But to get the best color and reproduction from them. Do constant water changes, every week, and keep them in heavy planted tanks and you will have a great thriving colony.

Very hardy fish. I kept them for a brief period in an unheated tank which temp. dropped to around 60 at night.

What fish are they compadible with?

just about anything that won't be aggresive to them. I'd stay away from Chiclids, barbs, and fish that could fit these little guys in their mouths. Besides that they are pretty good community fish, they will adapt to a variety of water conditions.
