	what kind of Paradise fish is it?
Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	I bought my first Paradise fish today, posted a pic here. I thought there was only one type of Paradise fish, but as I was researing online I found macropodus ocellatus, opercularis, and concolor. I think I've figured out concolor is a black Paradise fish, but which type do I actually have? Thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

I wrote about it in the Worst Mistakes Thread. I was so upset when that happened, my husband kept asking me if/when I'd get another so I did this past weekend The one I have now is definitely a male m. opercularis.

I'm always worried because when I change the Betta tanks I do it at the kitchen sink. After one jumped out of the cup (I use the cups we bought them in) and started plopping towards the sink. (we have a garbage disposal... and it would be impossible to get them ) Now I make sure to cover the drain.

Gravel + garbage disposals = a bad combo I broke the darn thing twice after running it without knowing gravel had gone down. Covering the drain is now a regular habit ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
