Hongkong paradise fish

[emeraldking]

Overhere some pics of my Hongkong paradise fish (Macropodus hongkongensis). This is the least colored paradise fish there is. But just like other paradise fish, also this species has got a high tolerance in water temperature which makes them good contenders for keeping outdoors.
These are young specimens... Adults reach 2-3 inches in size.

Very interesting . I’ve never heard of them . Where do you find these obscure gems ?

One of my fellow members of our national livebearer society keeps and breeds them for years. So, at some point I got them as well from him. Because I do love rare fish and I thought their behavior was interesting to me, that was the reason to get some of these fish.
