Easy to keep, guppies and endlers are robust and hardy fish that are popular for community tanks. They come in a variety of colours with flashy fins, and they are livebearers that will breed in the aquarium.
Poecilia spp. should not be mixed, but hybrids breeding projects are common in the guppy/endler facet of the hobby.
