Dear Gabriel:
I removed the male Endler’s and added water wisteria (Hygrophila difformis) and Rotala indica. As they become sexually mature, I’ll add the male Endler’s I most recently select-bred.
Thank you, for your interest and lovely comment.
Sincerely,
Brinegar

They do eat BBS for sure. They get brave and BIG pretty quickly. And yes they eat everything and more so as they age.

Dear Steffan:
Charles tried keeping them, in an unheated tank, briefly. They seemed to do fine at 72°F. Do you know if they would be OK, at temperatures as low as 65°F? I’d really like to discontinue the heaters, in this tank. But, in the winter, I let my house get cooler.
Please advise.
Thank you, for your interest and lovely comment.
All my best,
Sincerely,
Brinegar

@@ejbrinegar Alas, I do not know their temperature range beyond usual advice from internet. I keep mine at tropical temps. 9 is a BIG number though and in 6 mos will dominate the tank.

I see. Thank you.
