I found this information on Paradise fish.

The betta's round here are such poor quality, I would like to try some thing different.

I have a feeling a 2G would be too small? I also have a five g but had plans for cherry barbs....


so is the information accurate? does anyone have any experiences? and can one go in a 2 g?

THanks

GFG,
I have a paradise fish in a 10g tank, and even this seems a little small for such an active fish.
Unlike their other labyrinth fish cousins such as Bettas and Dwarf Gouramis, Paradise Fish are very very active and constantly on the move, hunting, searching, eating, and having fun.
I wouldnt put one in any less than a 10g tank, with a 15g tank being even better.

in theroy it should work, but they are jumpers and very active, so they may not work out well.

wow thanks for the quick responses, I guess I am going back to the drawing board on the what to do with my 2G. it is not the world's greatest tank. Just can't stand to see it empty!

hmmmmmm. icould wait for a decent betta or frogs......

Hello GFG :88)

Paradise GOURAMIS are really cool fish...
If you have ever had a betta or gourami, you'll like these.

Minimum 5 gal for this fish. I had one (Zen) for a bit in my 5g planted hex.. Perfect setup until the landlady cranked the central air one day..

THE STORY OF 'ZEN'
When I first got it, I let it 'play' in the community tank.
It swam to all areas of the tank, keenly inspecting everything with a high degree of awareness and curiosity. I thought to myself, AWESOME !! What a SMART fish !! Really loves the plants too ! And I smiled, a proud fish owner. Nice colors and fins too !

The next day I realized... It had sniped off every single guppy fry I had. Like 30 something. It was HUNTING. ]:|
Pop ! into the hex it went.. Bad fishie !!
