Care and setup

Keep Tiger Teddy Livebearers in a mature planted aquarium with gentle filtration, mosses, fine-leaved plants and quiet areas for fry. Stable water matters more than chasing extremes. Because the fish are very small, avoid powerful flow and avoid tank mates that rush every meal.

A small group works best. Provide visual cover and feed carefully so shy fish and young fry can find food before faster species take everything.

Feeding

Use crushed flakes, micro pellets, baby brine shrimp, daphnia, cyclops and other tiny foods. Feed small portions so every fish can eat without polluting the water.

Tank mates

Choose peaceful nano fish only. Related livebearers and splitfins to compare include Polka-dot Splitfin, Barred Splitfin, Twoline Skiffia and Spotted Skiffia. El Tigre Endler Guppy is a useful comparison if you want a livelier small livebearer.
