Facts
The Blue Paradise Fish is quite active and should be housed with larger fish of similar temperament, as it can be quite territorial of an area. Females are more vivid in colouration, while males have longer fins. The Gouramis are labyrinth fish, meaning they have poorly developed gills, and need easy access to the water surface so that they can breathe using their unique breathing organ, the labyrinthine. Additionally, a tightly fitted tank lid is required since they are good jumpers.
