Paradise Fish is a hardy Asian labyrinth fish with bold colour and plenty of character. It is often sold as Red Paradise Fish, but it should not be treated as a tiny peaceful community fish. Mature aquariums with plants, cover and robust companions suit it best.
Keep Paradise Fish with robust peaceful companions that will not nip fins or compete aggressively at the surface. Avoid tiny fish, bettas, delicate hot-water species and multiple males in cramped aquariums.
