I just got my first paradise fish for my 20 gallon community. Is there anything specific that i should know that more experienced paradise fish owners have discovered?

not really paradice fish are very good for beginners and are very hardy. they can tolerate very low temp.

they jump
they like interacting with humans
they are somewhat trainable
they are docile

i 'taught' mine to jump out of the water to get food, but thats not that hard, most fish will do that to some extent.

they are intellgent tho, so train them like you would a cat, use food!

Just be careful, they're very good jumpers
