🐟 Green Tiger Endler Care Tips
✅ Tank Requirements
• Tank Size: Minimum 40 litres for a small colony; they appreciate swimming space.
• Group Size: Keep in groups of 6 or more to reduce stress and encourage natural social behaviours.
• Substrate: Fine sand or smooth gravel; they are not picky but appreciate a clean bottom.
• Filtration: Gentle filtration is preferred; ensure the intake is covered to protect smaller fry.
🌡️ Water Parameters
• Temperature: 22–28°C (72–82°F)
• pH: 7.0–8.2
• Hardness: 8–15 dGH (they prefer slightly harder, alkaline water)
• TDS: 200–400 ppm
🍽️ Diet
• Omnivorous: Feed high-quality flake food, micro-pellets, and frozen daphnia or brine shrimp.
• Supplement with colour-enhancing flakes for growth and vibrant green colour.
🧼 Tank Maintenance
• Perform weekly water changes (10–15%) using dechlorinated, temperature-matched water.
• Maintain a stable environment to prevent stress; they are hardy but sensitive to sudden chemistry swings.
🤝 Tank Mates
• Peaceful; best kept with other small, non-aggressive species like tetras, rasboras, and corydoras.
• Avoid large, predatory fish that may view them as a snack.
🍀 Colour & Health Enhancement
• Lighting: Moderate lighting helps bring out their metallic green sheen.
• Diet: A mineral-rich, varied diet supports healthy growth and vibrant colour:
- High-quality colour-enhancing tropical flakes
- Occasional live or frozen protein foods for breeding vitality
- Calcium-rich treats to support skeletal health and overall longevity
