Compatibility
Endler's livebearer × Corydoras Compatibility
Compatibility calculated based on predation risk, behaviour profile, and water-parameter overlap.
Endler's livebearer and Corydoras can live together in a well-planted community tank, but size difference should be monitored and water-parameter overlap should be checked carefully.

Envrionmental Factors
Temperature overlap
Endler's livebearer: 24.0–29.0 °C
Corydoras: 22.0–25.0 °C
Shared window: 24.0–25.0°C.
pH overlap
Endler's livebearer: 7.0–8.5
Corydoras: 6.0–7.0
Shared window: 7.0–7.0.
Hardness overlap
Endler's livebearer: Medium → Hard
Corydoras: Soft → Hard
Shared hardness bands: 2 (overlap ratio 100%).
Flow match
Endler's livebearer: Medium
Corydoras: Medium
Flow preferences do not conflict directly (no low-vs-high clash).
Behavioural Factors
Predation risk (size ratio)
Adult size ratio: 2.33x
Size gap is between 2.0x and 3.0x, so monitor for dominance and mouth-fit risk.
Behaviour risk
- - Both species are generally peaceful; behaviour conflict risk is low.
