absolutely male, and a beautiful one at that. the paradise fish in my area are generally pale blue without stripes.

anyway, anytime you see a very colorful paradise fish, its almost always male. Many stores won't even sell females because they lack color and are therefore less appealing.

Hey NottsFishy,

I've kept a male Paradise, too. I can't find a female for him yet.

This is my Paradise Gourami that I call him "Garfield"

By the way, this could be some help, I took a picture of "Paradise Fish"
The picture show a couple of male and female.

The picture came from this classic old book that I got from a local 2nd hand book store here.
