Tiger Endler Hybrid Guppy

Poecilia reticulata x wingei

The Tiger Endler is a micro-demon of the aquarium. Created by crossing the peaceful Endler with the Guppy, it possesses infinite energy and crazy metabolism. It is virtually indestructible and colored like a tiger-striped highlighter. But this strength has a downside: it mates with unstoppable violence and frequency. A single male in the tank will obsessively chase any livebearer female, irrevocably polluting the genetic purity of the entire aquarium.

Description

Condemnation to Nervous Breakdown (The Chase Futile Deaf Mute):

If you put an Endler with a Betta or sedate fish, the stress will kill the peaceful fish. The frantic zig-zag of the hybrid in front of their eyes will send them into a panic, leading them to refuse food and hide until death.

Care and observations

Rapid Demographic Collapse (The Striped Plague Futile Blind):

Unlike normal slow Guppies, Tiger Endler newborns are microscopic rockets. No fish can prey on these fry. A 30-liter tank will suffer an ecological collapse from overcrowding in just 8 weeks. The filters will clog and ammonia will wipe everyone out. Keep ONLY MALES if you do not want to manage an environmental emergency in your living room.
