Black Bar Endler's Livebearer (Poecilia wingei) - Class N
Bring vibrant energy, stunning contrast, and pure wild lineage to your freshwater setup with the Class N Black Bar Endler’s Livebearer. Widely considered the ultimate nano aquarium fish, these active little livebearers pack an incredible punch of color into a tiny frame.
As an "N" Class strain, these fish represent genetically verified, pure-strain Poecilia wingei originating directly from their native Venezuelan biotypes, completely free of common guppy hybridization.
Highlights & Features
Dazzling Appearance: Males proudly display a striking, signature jet-black vertical bar behind the gill plate, offset by neon electric flashes of metallic green, fiery orange, yellow, and blue that shimmer dynamically as they move.
Pure Lineage ("N" Class): Certified pure-strain heritage, offering true-breeding traits, robust hardiness, and preservation of authentic wild characteristics.
Nano-Tank Perfection: Reaching a maximum size of around 1 inch for males, they are exceptionally well-suited for desktop aquariums, planted tanks, and aquascapes.
Active & Peaceful: Incredibly lively, constantly exploring the upper and middle columns of the water column. They have a peaceful disposition, making them ideal community inhabitants.
Care & Husbandry Guidelines
Minimum Tank Size: 5 gallons (ideal for small setups or breeding colonies)
Water Temperature: 72°F – 82°F (22°C – 28°C)
Water Chemistry: pH 7.0 – 8.5 (thrives in moderately hard to hard water)
Temperament: Peaceful, schooling/shoaling. Recommendation: Keep in groups with a ratio of multiple females per male to spread out courting activity.
Diet: Omnivorous. Easily accepts high-quality crushed flakes, micro-pellets, spirulina, and frozen foods like baby brine shrimp or daphnia.
Aquarium Note: Because they are active surface swimmers with a natural propensity to jump, a secure aquarium lid or lowered water line is strongly recommended.

Why it matters
Most livestock gets shipped straight from a crowded holding tank. Ours doesn't.
