A Few Ouestions About Endlers

[tomo9]

i'm about to set a new tank up over chritmas with endlers in it The tank is 15 gallons.I hav'nt been keeping endlers for all that long now so i have a few questions to ask guys.

what other fish would be a good tank mate for them? (i was thinking high fin platy or cherry shrimp)

if you want them to breed do u just leave them to it?

will they be fine with sand for the tank surface ?

when the fry are produced how many do you usally get?

whould sailfin molly be alright with them?

sorry for all the questions guys i'm just alittle courios

thanks alot tomo9

Platies and Cherry Shrimp should be okay, but they will eat fry. Give them clean, stable water and they should just let nature take its course and mate. Sand should be okay, but sometimes fry hide out between the rock substrate. Mollies should be okay as well, as most common livebearers are peaceful.

Avoild the larger sail fins ad they will just bully small endlers.

Platies may also eat most of the fry given a chance.

Cherry shrimp, i got a few of these and their loverly, that would be my choice.
