Every once in awhile I hear someone say that they would like to have a true wild Endlers Livebearer rather than a developed strain of an Endler Livebearer.

Orchid Endlers were line bred into a unique strain by Adrian Hernandez from a population of Endlers collected in Venezuela by Armando Pau. Orchid Endlers were the first strain of Endlers we chose to work with due to their bright orange and green coloration which is accented by black coloration on their bodies.

Endlers Livebearers are a relatively new species available to the tropical fish hobbyist. Although it was first discovered by Franklyn F Bind in 1937 in Laguna de Patos in Venezuela, it was not introduced into the aquarium trade until after it was rediscovered by Dr. John Endler in 1975.
