Hello I have Endlers in a 10 gallon tank with no other fish in it. Right now I have 2 Females who JUST had fry about 2 days ago and 4 days ago for another, thing is I also still have 3 more females who are going to have babys.


If needed I'll go in and be the population control.

I was just wondering, if there is ANYTHING else that would do good in there with them, and somewhat leave the fry alone after all, there endlers I don't want em to keep going to waste being eaten.

I would be willing to try anything, one thing I do not want though is something that would take away from this once speicies only tank. I love the Endlers and don't want something that will totally take away from them.


Hope someone can help,

Thanks a ton

a gourami of many types will probably east that, but paradice will.

o my bad, i thought u wanted something to eat the fry.

white clouds might work.

So you're just looking for some other fish to add to the setup? I personally wouldn't trust any gouramis, IME they're great fry eaters. Maybe a pair of cherry barbs? A group of C. pygmaeus or C. habrosus would clean leftovers on the bottom. If you have algae maybe a trio of otos?

Do you have plans for the Endler's fry? They can get really out of control in a 10g :%)

A bumblebee goby?
Im not sure if they eat fry though..

I do have other means for fry.......My Oscars belly's heheh



I know for one Gobys are not sold very often around here, so thats out of the question even though I like them.


Cherry barbs, now does thats mean I can put any type of barb??


I would also like to try something I don't have


I own:
Angelfish
Corys
Guppys
Endlers
Bettas
Oscars
Convicts
ottos
African buterflyfish
hmm I think thats it

By all means I don't mean I wanna shove these in a ten gallon but you know what i mean

I'd suggest leaving it as a species only tank

You will need the room as the fish continue to breed and as the fry grow, you will want to keep some of those.

now does thats mean I can put any type of barb

No, cherries do well in pairs, the others should be in schools.

I like cherry barbs

How about snails or a snail????

Its a fake planted tank.
