Endlers
The history of Endler's guppies is linked to the work of John Endler and the rediscovery of the fish in 1975
Discovery
John Endler rediscovered the fish in Laguna Patos, Venezuela, in 1975. The fish had been recorded before, but Endler's discovery led to it being properly studied and documented.
Naming
The fish is named after Endler and is now known as Poecilia wingei. It's sometimes considered a geographical variant of the common guppy, Poecilia reticulata, but is usually treated as a separate species
Habitat
Endler's guppies are found in a small area of Venezuela in shallow, greenish streams surrounded by trees.
Related species
Endler's guppies are closely related to guppies and can hybridize with them, producing fish known as Endler's guppies.
Breeding
Male Endlers perform a dance before breeding. After mating, gestation takes about 23–24 days. A single female can produce 5–25 fry, with 15 being average.
