Tory Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 An ebay seller fell through so I got a coupon and a refund - what should I get with the $? I already have a trio of endlers, a trio of guppies, and about 20 shrimp, but I'd like a different variety of one of these species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirsten Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Haha whatever floats your boat tbh! I adore my endlers, the first fish I thought "oooh, I want those, what are they?" But they aren't too different from guppies. Males are a bit smaller and more psychedelic than guppies. Females are plainer than guppies but are darn good at having babies. They're a little more hardy, too, being closer to their wild relatives. But the care is pretty much the same. Shrimp are also colorful, fun to watch and breed, but they're more specifically scavengers / bottom feeders. They're seen as food by many fish, even smaller ones like bettas and gouramis, so it depends what else is in the tank with them. Endlers or guppies would both get along well with neo shrimp. But I wouldn't recommend both guppies and endlers in the same tank since they can crossbreed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want something in a different color and am indecisive lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 How about something like Platys? a little different from what you already have but still affordable, easy to breed, and don't need a massive tank (10 gallon) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanked Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 If three is good, than six or more is better. You already have 20 shrimp so given the choices I would go with the Endlers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tory Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Thanks y'all but I went against the poll and got some pretty guppies lol. The guppies I have are kinda ugly so I wanted some color in the tank. Might get a couple more endlers too, we'll see, I already have a few endler fry though so I'm deciding still.
