Blue Star Endlers originate from the warm, and hard waters of Laguna De Patos, the coastal lagoons in Northeastern Venezuela. Originally it was brackish water but because it was cut off from the ocean has since been altered due to run off and is now classed as freshwater. Blue Star Endlers are now extinct in the original collection point as a garbage dump has been built next to the lake polluting the water. These fish have beautiful colouration; they are mainly blue - Electric blue fading into a lighter blue with deep orange and black color on the abdomen and fin flowing into the tail, which sets it apart from other Endlers. Their small size makes them perfect for the nano or planted aquarium as well as being added into a larger community aquarium.
