Fish Crazy
OK in the last3 week I have been doing a LOT of reading on the Paradise fish. I love this fish but becouse of it temperment have not been able to keep one with out tank issues. From what I have read these are a true cool water fish. They color up better, stay peaceful, and will breed better. I even found sites that say they can live in 2 gal bowls better the Bettas! (I do not think I will go there, just sounds way to small)
From what I have read the paradise go into breeding mod when the temp goes up. This would be why a Paradise fish in a heated tank hates every one. I talked my LFS tuesday into puting half of there shipment into a heater tank and half into a cool water tank. The cool water tank had less agression(none that the works saw), with no injurys. Also they colored up fast and sold faster! The heated tank had the normal fighting and they still have 6 of the 10 they put in there, The cool water tank All where sold.
So this is what I found out, what do you think?
