The El Silverado Endler is stunning with its bright silver color. It’s very active and adds a lot of visual appeal to my 10-gallon planted tank. Easy to care for and doesn’t stress other fish. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still vibrant and healthy.

The fish arrived alive and in good condition. The silver color is very striking. I’ve noticed it’s more active than other endlers I’ve had before. A bit shy at first, but now it swims freely in the tank.
