The Paradisefish, or Macropodus Opercularis, is a hearty fish for your aquarium. It is also a routy tropical fish. It can live in a community fish tank but, it will chase around females so give them a big tank with plenty of plants and caves to hide in.

 

 

Paradisefish / Macropodus Opercularis Breeding: You will also want to have some floating plants for the male Paradisefish to construct a bubble nest under. The female will lay up to 500 eggs that take about a days or so to hatch.
