	Breeding Paradise fish?
Fish Guy Mega Fish Posts: 1091 Kudos: 1254 Votes: 2 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	I was wondering how do I go about this? I know its similiar to the betta breeding habits, but the male Paradise fish I have kept in the past have never seemed to bulid a bubble nest when they where in a 4 gallon tank by themselves?

I'm sure if you put one male paradise fish in a 10 gallon and feed him great food and filter the tank well he will be very happy and start to blow bubbles.

They also won't eat their fry, so if you can accomidate them with a larger tank and live plants, they will spawn, as long as they are mature enough. Putting the light on a timer and feeding live foods will also help. They also will do fine in a pond during the summer (northeaast USA) and will readily breed. They actually do rather well when kept at cooler temperatures, 50-70 degrees F. Mine have been in the pond for two weeks now.

I didn't do anything to induce spawning. [/font][/font][/font] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
