Fish Compatible with Paradise Fish? | |
gnr4ever8794 Enthusiast Posts: 253 Kudos: 222 Votes: 24 Registered: 12-Apr-2004 | While I was at the petstore the other day, I saw the nicest looking albino paradise fish I've ever seen, and I've decided that I need one. I've heard of them being semi-aggressive, and I've witnessed them chasing eachother around, so I'm not just going to go with a community-like setting. It will be going into a 10 Gallon tank, and I'm going to use the same tank to go for my first real attempt into plants, besides the low light/maintence ones I use in my 30 gallon. My ideas so far are maybe some male platies or florida flagfish? Something small, but something that won't get pushed around too much by a paradise fish. |

NowherMan6 Fish Master Posts: 1880 Kudos: 922 Votes: 69 Registered: 21-Jun-2004 | Flagfish look like mean little things to me. I've read they shouldn't be kept with fish that resemble their body type - which would probably include bettas, paradise fish mollies, platies etc. Never had one though, so you may have a different experience. |

Baenschi trio,Cyanotilapia Afra Cobwe(4), copadichromis trewavase, protomelas sp. tangerine tiger(breeding pair) |
