Are they common in most LFS?

I have seen them in a couple but they are fairly common. A good LFS will order them in for you anyway.

Ok thanks a lot for your help will start to set up and cycle this tank when the stand comes

Good luck. Happy fish keeping.

They can be kept in hard water right?

Briganti · « **Reply #20 on:** October 13, 2015, 10:52:19 pm »

Water Parameters:
Neutral to moderately hard, alkaline water is best long-term. pH: 7.0-8.0, dH: 12-25 degrees.
Temperature:
21-24 deg C (70-75 deg F)

They should be fine for your water if I remember correctly.

The German dH in Portsmouth is 17 so it should be fine right?

Yeah, that's within range. Top end but ok.

I'd still put endlers in, males are very small

timcleall · « **Reply #24 on:** October 14, 2015, 07:28:17 pm »

Don't the males tend to fight a lot though or is that okay?

Briganti · « **Reply #25 on:** October 14, 2015, 07:55:43 pm »

The males can fight but if there are no females, there won't be any problems.

Got 5 male endlers in my bettas old tank at the moment, bought a 64l from gumtree and she had loads of the little guys

Slightly worried my filter is too powerful any ways to stop it pushing them around when they go underneath the spray bar?

Thanks

The guppies love playing in a strong filter flow. Fun to watch them flying around.

Thank god always seem to worry more than I need to when I change something in my tanks

Briganti · « **Reply #29 on:** October 17, 2015, 10:15:41 pm »

Does that mean the endlers are in a 64L rather than the 22L then?

No, sorry just reread that. So what's the plan for the 64L?
