Rainbow Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hello, Does anyone here have information on Paradise Fish? I have some in my pond and would like more, but I need more information first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 What would you like to know? They are very hardy....easy to breed bubble nest builders can stand a wide range of temps and water chemistry males can be quite aggressive females aren't supposed to be imported....but they are They have smaller fins and less colour than the males I have a pair in a heavily planted 2ft tank that sits on my outdoor table there is about 6 fry left from their last spawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbow Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'd be very interested in getting hold of some females, particularly albinos. Anyone have some spare ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggy Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 thay might be hardy, but if thay get a disease it can be hard to identify since the amount of diseases thay can get... but i would think only 1 out of 4 get ill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUNGLE Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Ask your lfs to get some in for you. Albinos are so beautiful when viewed in sunlight. One of the most spectacular cold water sights IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bewarebrunette Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I had paradise fish, males were very aggressive. The first batch came with columnaris (not happy). I'm not really keen on them anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUNGLE Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Geez that was bad luck. Try again....they really can be easy and beautiful. I never found them that aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbow Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I haven't found my paradise fish aggressive, although I know they can be territorial, but perhaps being in a large pond helps :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I had 4 females (including a stunning blue) in a 3' tank and they were just lovely. There was a pecking order, but none of them ever ripped into the others I have been on the lookout for girls, but so far, no luck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
