Yellow Tux Endler
The Yellow Tux Endler is a bright, active freshwater livebearer known for its bold yellow coloration, tuxedo-style patterning, and small adult size. Endlers are excellent nano fish for planted aquariums, beginner tanks, and peaceful community setups.
Yellow Tux Endlers are hardy, peaceful, and easy to care for when kept in a clean, stable aquarium. Their constant movement and vivid color make them a great choice for hobbyists wanting a lively fish that stays small.

Tank Setup
Yellow Tux Endlers do best in a mature aquarium with clean water, gentle filtration, and plenty of live plants. Plants, mosses, and floating plants provide cover, help reduce stress, and create a more natural environment.
Because Endlers are active top and mid-level swimmers, provide both open swimming space and planted areas. A secure aquarium lid is recommended because small livebearers may jump when startled.
Diet & Feeding
Yellow Tux Endlers are omnivores and accept a variety of small foods. Because of their small mouths, offer appropriately sized foods that are easy for them to eat.
- Crushed tropical flakes
- Nano pellets
- Baby brine shrimp
- Daphnia
- Frozen cyclops
- Small live or frozen foods
- Spirulina-based foods
A varied diet helps support strong color, healthy growth, and active behavior.
Tank Mates
Yellow Tux Endlers are peaceful and do best with other small, calm freshwater fish. Avoid large fish, aggressive fish, or fin nippers that may stress or eat them.
- Small rasboras
- Ember tetras
- Green neon tetras
- Pygmy corydoras
- Otocinclus catfish
- Small peaceful snails
- Neocaridina shrimp, with caution
Use caution in shrimp breeding tanks, as Endlers may eat very small baby shrimp.
Breeding
Endlers are livebearers, meaning females give birth to free-swimming fry instead of laying eggs. If males and females are kept together, they can breed easily in a healthy aquarium.
If you do not want frequent breeding, an all-male group is a great option. Male Endlers are usually smaller, brighter, and more colorful.
Important Care Notes
- Great beginner-friendly nano fish
- Peaceful and active
- Best kept in groups
- Breeds easily when males and females are kept together
- Use a secure lid to help prevent jumping
