These were being sold as Endler’s Guppy in my local fish shop, however they aren’t actually guppies, they are very closely related to the guppy genus, however they prefer more temperate water (24-27 degrees Celsius, as apposed to the guppy that prefers 23-25 degrees Celsius)
I couldn’t resist these cute small fish, so purchased five males for my community tank. These fish are very easy to breed, and I don’t want that!
They shoal with my Trigonostigma espei, however the espei are now almost fully grown so the wingei still look tiny in comparison.
