Yellow Tiger endler (mixed grading)

Yellow Tiger Endler — Mixed Grading

The Yellow Tiger Endler is a vibrant and eye-catching strain of Endler’s Livebearer (Poecilia wingei), prized for its bold yellow body adorned with irregular black tiger-stripe markings. Available in mixed grading, each fish displays the characteristic Yellow Tiger pattern with natural variation in stripe intensity, coverage, and iridescent accent colouration — making every individual uniquely beautiful.

Bold Colour in a Nano-Friendly Package

Male Yellow Tiger Endlers are compact, active, and constantly displaying their vivid markings as they dart through the water column. The contrast between the warm yellow base and bold black striping gives this strain an almost tropical wildcat quality that stands out beautifully in planted nano aquariums. Females are larger, more subtly coloured, and essential for any breeding project.

Available Options

• Male — $6.00: Full Yellow Tiger colouration and patterning (mixed grading)
