Re: [GSAS-Member] 4 Paradise Fish...One more try



I've also given Paradise Fish as gifts. You can keep one in a very small 
container and
they seem quite happy. It's a great fish to keep in a bowl on your desk at work 
because
they are hardier and more active than a Betta, and can survive lower 
temperatures. Kids
fall in love with them because they will eat out of your hand. You can teach 
them to
jump for food, and that amazes even the adults. And ... color and finnage on an 
adult
paradise fish is more impressive than your average fish.

There are no bad fish; only bad tanks (I just made that up).
