  for Sale in California

aquariumfish.net - Blue Paradise Fish for sale at aquariumfish.net, recognized experts in tropical fish. Located in San Diego, CA.


Macropodus opercularis (Family: Belontiidae) is about 3.25 inches long. He does not mix well with other aggressive species. Males have longer fins and are more brightly colored than females. Paradise fish likes cooler waters than many other members of its family. It has a wide temperature tolerance (61-78°F) and is omnivore.
Breeding: The male builds the bubble nest. He will aggressively guard the eggs until they hatch. At this point, he should be removed, because the fry are immediately free swimming, and he may try to eat them. Feed the fry infusoria and liquid fry food. After a week or two, add newly hatched brine shrimp. As they grow, you can add finely crushed flake food, microworms and Daphnia.
