Also known as the paradise gouramis, it is an ornamental fish typically found in East Asia. It is used in aquariums because of its interesting colors.Some varieties with greatly extended and modified fins and tails have been developed.

If you are looking after one feed it twice a day intill its full grown then only feed it once.They aparrently like to eat live guppies but i do not do that because I belive its cruel.Males are normally only ever aggressive to males.if they are aggressive just put more plants in your'e aquarium

Are Paradise Gourami's vicious to goldfish?

Paradise fish should never be in a situation where it meets a Goldfish. The Paradise fish is a tropical fish and needs its water over 65F. The Goldfish is a coldwater fish and needs its water below 65F. Ergo they need different temperatures and so should not be kept together. Thanks for you help!! :)

Can a goldfish live with a paradise fish?

There are several reasons why housing these two very different types of fish together would be a bad idea. First off, paradise fish need to be housed in warm water and goldfish need to be housed in coldwater, there is no way to compromise here without harming your fish's health and certainly preventing them from thriving. Along with not having proper water temperatures there would also probably be quite a big size difference and a number of aggression issues caused by either of the fish. The paradise fish will probably be able to eat faster then the goldfish thus causing the goldfish to starve, also paradise fish and goldfish have different nutrient requirements and need to be fed different types of food(which you can assume is hard to do if the paradise fish keeps eating the food intended for the goldfish).

Are female paradise fish aggressive?

Yes, they can be. I had three females. One is a bully and stressed one of the other paradise fish to death and is now bullying the other one. She is also nipping at the fins of my betta and his fins are only half of what they used to be. A leopard danio also disappeared with out a trace and the female paradise is the main suspect.
