Description
Cardinal Endler Guppy (Poecilia wingei)
Cardinal Endlers are a striking Endler guppy variant known for their vivid red, black, and metallic blue markings. Smaller and more active than standard guppies, they’re ideal for nano and planted aquariums where colour and movement matter.
Unlike common guppies, Endlers tend to be hardier, more efficient swimmers, and less prone to deformities when responsibly bred.
