Blue Paradise Fish Macropodus Opercularis 4cm Overview: The Blue Paradise Fish, also known as the Paradise Gourami, captivates with its stunning iridescent blue hues and distinctive finnage. Originating from East Asia, these labyrinth fish are prized for their vibrant colors and fascinating behavior. Origin: Hailing from the shallow waters of East Asia, particularly in rice paddies, streams, and ponds, Blue Paradise Fish thrive in calm, densely vegetated environments. Feeding: These omnivorous beauties enjoy a varied diet consisting of high-quality pellets, live or frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp, and occasional vegetation. Their diet ensures optimal health and coloration. Tank Mates: Blue Paradise Fish generally coexist well with peaceful community fish such as small tetras, peaceful barbs, rasboras, and certain catfish. Avoid pairing them with fin-nipping or aggressive tank mates. Aggression: While males can display territorial behavior, especially during breeding periods, they are generally peaceful. However, keeping multiple males in a smaller tank might result in occasional aggression. Experience Level: Ideal for aquarists with intermediate experience, the Blue Paradise Fish requires attention to water quality, proper diet, and suitable tank mates to thrive. Water Parameters: Maintain a temperature range between 72-82°F (22-28°C), pH level of 6.0-8.0, and a water hardness of 5-20 dGH.
