Endler's Livebearer was discovered in 1937 by Franklyn F. Bond, in northeastern Venezuela.  Remaining unknown to anyone else, they were later rediscovered by John Endler in 1975.

  They are popularly called "Endler's Livebearer, Endler's Guppy, or Endler's Poecilia."

This lively little fish greatly resembles the wild Guppy (Poecilia Reticulata) in appearance and size and they will interbreed with Guppies. While not yet officially classified, they may just be a regional variation of Poecilia Reticulata.

  While not as well known or established as the Guppy, Endler's Livebearer is an hardy, active, and delightful addition to any community aquarium.  They are very easy to keep, breed, and raise and they have the potential of becoming a very popular aquarium species in the future.
