Help with your choice

A colour form and a species are different choices

Red, Blue, Fire Ice and other opercularis forms sit alongside erythropterus, spechti and Round-Tailed ocellatus offers. Choose by the named fish rather than assuming every Paradise Fish needs the same conditions. Round-Tailed Paradise Fish are a cooler-water choice; check the temperature through the year instead of adding them to an aquarium set for warmer tropical fish.

Give territorial fish room to separate

Plan cover, clear routes to the surface and places to retreat from another fish. Consider the whole stocking plan, especially when keeping several Paradise Fish or fish with conspicuous fins. Attractive colour and a general beginner label do not establish compatibility. Watch for one fish being kept away from shelter or food, and have a separation plan.

Four supplied fish do not guarantee particular sexes, an established breeding group or a suitable number for your aquarium.
