Endlers can thrive on many types of food but a combination of them seems to work best.

• flakes
• small pellets
• live foods
• freeze dried foods
• vegetables
• vitamins

Flakes
Two types of flakes should be fed to endlers. High protein and vegetable based. Usually any flake food made for guppies will work well and any herbivore flake.

Small Pellets
Small pellets like Hikari Guppy food or golden pearls can also work well for endlers. HBH fry bites can also be used to give adult breeding fish or larger juvenile fish extra protein.

Live Foods
The best live foods for endlers are micro worms and newly hatched baby brine shrimp. Larger live foods or worms will either be so big the endlers will not eat them or the fish may choke on the worms (yes I have seen it happen).

Freeze dried foods
Freeze dried foods like krill, brine shrimp, tubifix worms etc can be fed if crushed. Tubifix worms can actually just be stuck to the glass as long as there are enough fish to eat the portion placed in the aquarium. In their efforts to pull the dried worms from the glass, they will break off small pieces to eat so will not choke on these. Freeze dried tablet foods can also be offered but frequent water changes may be needed as extra food or small particles the fish do not consume may cloud the water.

Vegetables
Endlers seem to love zucchini. I have not tried other veggies but think they would eat that two. They also love eating green algae and will eagerly strip tanks of the green sheets that can form on the glass and objects.
