zachjc_14 Enthusiast Posts: 205 Kudos: 211 Votes: 24 Registered: 20-Apr-2004	I was given some paradise fish (2 of them) and was wondering how I should go about keeping them. Please help as these are beautiful fish and I would like to keep them.

zachjc_14 Enthusiast Posts: 205 Kudos: 211 Votes: 24 Registered: 20-Apr-2004	I have separated my 10g into three approx. 3.3 gallon slots and the two hae been separated into two of these slots along with a heater (the profiles states that they can tolerate heat) at 78 degrees. A betta (white hopefully) will soon occupy the third slot but I was wondering if the betta could reside along with the smaller paradise in order to save space.

Even a male & female together can cause problems if the tank isn't large enough. These are just my opinions but I wouldn't keep 1 in anything smaller than a 10g, and I wouldn't keep one with a betta either ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
