Cumaná City Centre 2013 Endler Pair – Poecilia Wingei
The Cumaná City Centre 2013 Endler (Poecilia wingei) is a locality-specific Endler's livebearer with documented provenance. This strain descends from fish collected in the city centre of Cumaná, Sucre State, Venezuela in 2013. Cumaná — one of the oldest European-founded cities in the Americas — is also one of the most important regions for Endler's livebearers, with several distinct populations found in urban waterways.

Locality-Specific Provenance
In the Endler hobby, locality is everything. Each natural population of Poecilia wingei has evolved distinct colour patterns adapted to its specific habitat. The Cumaná City Centre 2013 collection represents a documented snapshot of one such population. Maintaining the purity of this strain preserves a piece of natural biodiversity that may be lost in the wild due to urbanisation.
