Paradise Fish - 4cm (Macropodus opercularis) (Live Fish)

Paradise Fish (Macropodus opercularis) are colourful and hardy freshwater labyrinth fish admired for their striking blue and red body markings, flowing fins, and lively personality. Their bold appearance and interesting surface-breathing behaviour make them a fascinating feature fish for suitable community aquariums.

They thrive in well-maintained aquariums with stable water quality, gentle filtration, plants, floating cover, and areas of calm water. Access to the water surface is important for labyrinth breathing. Males can be territorial and may display aggressively toward one another, so adequate space, visual barriers, and carefully selected tankmates are recommended.
