White clouds are also a good choice. They're also not fry eaters in my experience.

I have a tank with white clouds, platy, and endlers in a 10 gal and they look great together
Just for data purposes for those reading, i run endlers in a 130L tank with neon tetras, glass catfish, red cherry shrimp, Hillstream Loaches and clown/rocket killifish. All is well, there is also Ramshorn and Mystery Snails.

Sounds like a fun tank
Endlers are probably my favourite fish. Word of warning about female ones. They will take out juvenile cherry shrimps no problem. Seen it a few times. I keep them with CPD and Borellii Opals no problem. All these fish are happy in moderately hard water and temp of 74. You can also try Cherry barbs. Endlers are very hardy as you say and will swim to your hand.

Great suggestions. Yeah you might lose some juveniles to a hungry female
This video was very helpful, thank you! I haven’t had an aquarium since I was a kid but I plan on getting one soon!

Thank you 🙏 That was very informative and I feel ready to go get some Endler friendly fish mates for my tank, which is rather large and makes my very small colony (I’m restarting) look rather insignificant. Thank you again 😊

Love my Endlers! I keep a Sorority tank of females so that I can enjoy their natural behavior without them constantly being 'pestered' by the males. The boys go into my Display tank where they school up together and just look Gorgeous!

Thanks Finn Wiggles! That is an interesting set up. The males definitely do pester the females.

I have a couple varieties of Endlers in tanks with cherry shrimp, otocinclus catfish, snails and one tank there are lots of scuds. They all seem to thrive together. In one tank my cherry shrimp are out breeding my Japanese Blue Endlers and in the Black Bar N tank they are quickly out growing the tank as there are fry everywhere.

I know that Aquarium Coop filmed them on gravel in Peru but sand would be better for them than gravel.
How common is the interbreeding between guppies or endlers with mollies? Because i have a alone, virgin mollie with alot of guppies and endlers and she seems to never get pregnant.

Desiree, they will interbreed for sure but if there are a larger group of guppies or endlers they will keep to themselves and leave the mollies alone
what about pseudomugil furcatus, is it ok to be endler's tankmate?

What about one honey or powder blue gourami with 6-10 endler males? (I don’t want any females because I don’t want breeding.) Thanks!
@FishTankBarn

I am not an expert on gourami's, I think the honey gourami's would be fine but I think the powder blue would be too big and might eat the endlers.
Can I put beta and guppies with it ? You mentioned interbreed ?

Depends I have done fine with Neons with hard water at an 8ph. Wild caught would need softer water for sure.
