Fish Bowl #1: Blond Tiger Endlers in our Small Tank

The two small white fry that we added to this 5 gallon bowl are growing fast.  We now know that we have a pair of them.

The male is just starting to get his colors in.  It looks like he is going to be amazing.

At first appearance they look like they are albino however they have normal eyes.  The female is very light colored and she now has a gravid spot which pink rather than the usual dark grey or black.

The male is just starting to show the vertical stripes found in Tiger Endlers however they are much lighter and look like they will be well defined as the male ages.

The male is also starting to show signs of reflective metallic green coloration.  These look like they are going to grow up to be amazing!

As far as the tank goes it seems to be ideal for raising Endlers so far.


We were able to purchase a couple of 25 watt aquarium heaters for the tank and for the other one we have not set up yet.  

These heaters should help stabilize the water temperature as Endlers prefer warmer water.  These small aquarium heaters cost us less than $5 each with free shipping on eBay.
