Feeding Paradise Fish And Some Other Beginner Info...

[Monty2451]

I was wondering if anyone could possibly tell me; 1) what type of food you recommend feeding paradise fish? and 2) In what quantity should they be fed? I have a kept a Betta now for a year and am looking to expand a little (of course I would keep the Paradise and the Betta separate). I strictly feed the Betta Hikari Betta Bio-Gold pellets, 4 pellets in the morning and 3 in the evening (he's quite a big betta) and I skip feeding on Saturdays to avoid him becoming bound up/constipated. So I was thinking, because of the similarities between Bettas and Paradise fish (both are labyrinth fish from the similar regions in Asia, and both have very similar aggression level and tank diet), I was wondering if I could just feed the Paradise fish the Betta food in the same quantity?

Also, if anyone has any advice aside from the general tank/water condition/temp specs., I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Paradise fish are best kept in a species only tank, and you can feed them the way as gouramis. So, a variety of pellets, flakes, some brineshrimp now and then, and veggies (zucchini and peas).
