Endler enthusiast Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hi, I’m McKenna (Mack and mick are nicknames) and I am a chronic over builder/ overachiever. I am nearing a new endler breeding project( also overbuilt) with an auto fry separator and two tanks dedicated to one colony. I haven’t decided what type of endler I will choose yet, but I know I want to feed both adults and fry live foods (in combination with repashy vegetarian option) and I needed help in choosing which live foods I should get. I wish to put the limit of different cultures to 4 ( not including bbs and the occasional mosquito larva from pooled water) thank you for reading, and thank you for taking time to help me 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griznatch Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Adults should be able to handle Daphnia. My guppies loved them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshStover Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 My guppies LOVE BBS, daphnia and mosquito larvae. I haven’t tried much else though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if I want to buy a $44 for daily use on one tank, and my water bottle method didn’t have incredible results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentFishFanUK Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 If you only need small numbers of BBS then I have a hobby branded artemia breeding dish that works really well for me. When I set up my tank I had a bunch of different copepods appear, soon after adding a few male Endlers they went to town and ate all the copepods so that's something the adults at least seem to love! Also I think moina are a bit smaller than daphnia and supposedly a bit hardier so that might be a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have alot of fry tanks....with A LOT of fry and I am running two to keep up with demand. There are some things that are just worth the price because of the ease they provide. Just what works for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
