Staeck endlers livebearers strain was originally found in Kanal de Laguna de Los Platos (Cumana region), and brought to Dr. Wolfgang Staeck, (which this strain was named after) They have 3 spots displayed horizontally on their body. They are a very colorful and active Endler. They are a great beginners fish as well as for advanced aquarist collectors. Like most endlers they hardly eat their fry and are a great species to keep.
