Product Description

Flame Paradise Fish (Macropodus opercularis)

“A fiery splash of colour and personality, the Flame Paradise Fish brings movement and vibrance to any freshwater aquarium.”

Description:
The Flame Paradise Fish (Macropodus opercularis) is a visually stunning freshwater species from Southeast Asia, prized for its bright red and blue coloration and elegant fins. Hardy and active, this fish is perfect for aquarists looking for a lively centerpiece in a community or species-specific tank. Males display vibrant colours, especially during breeding, making them a striking addition to any aquarium.

  • Temperature: 22–28°C

  • pH: 6.0–8.0

  • Hardness: 6–15 dGH

  • Tank Size: 40L+ (larger tanks recommended for multiple individuals)

  • Diet: Omnivorous – high-quality flakes, pellets, live/frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms

  • Size: Up to 6–7 cm

  • Temperament: Generally peaceful but can be territorial, especially males

  • Tankmates: Best with robust, non-aggressive species; avoid slow-moving or long-finned fish

Additional Information:

  • Males build bubble nests and guard fry during breeding.
