from The Aquarist’s Edge [Weekly Aquarium Podcast] · host Arthur Preston

Art breaks down the real differences between Endler’s livebearers and guppies, going far beyond size and colour. You’ll learn how species genetics, natural behaviour, and evolutionary history shape their health, activity levels, and breeding patterns in the aquarium. You'll hear about the science behind Endlers’ constant foraging behaviour, why guppies and Endlers hybridise so easily, and how tank design, mineral content, temperature, and feeding strategies directly affect long-term success. Whether you’re keeping Endlers, guppies, or both, this episode provides practical, experience-based advice to help you build stable, thriving livebearer tanks.   ⭐ Enjoying the show?
