The Paradise Fish (Macropodus opercularis) is a hardy and colourful labyrinth fish, well-suited for aquarists of all levels. They thrive in freshwater aquariums with moderate planting and plenty of hiding spaces. Paradise Fish are known for their striking colours and active personalities, but males can be territorial, so tank mates should be chosen carefully.
Water Conditions: 20–28°C, pH 6.0–8.0
Diet: Omnivorous – accepts flakes, pellets, live, and frozen foods
Temperament: Semi-aggressive, especially males
Lifespan: 6–8 years with proper care
They prefer a covered tank as they may jump, and regular water changes are important to keep them healthy.
