HI Shamus,

I dont know if it is just me but I have found the paradise fish to actually 
prefer warmer water.  I had the two grandparents of the current GSAS 
Paradise population in a large tub for a while with no added heat; they 
looked quite grumpy; sluggish, clamped fins, not eating much...  So I added 
a heater.  Then they went nuts; perked right up and started breeding 
behaviours (and very successful ones at that) almost immediately.  I still 
have paradise fish coming out my ears as a result.  (The grandfather is no 
longer though, due to a penchant for jumping out of a 5-gal bucket when I 
wasnt home!  Grandma is Queen of the Belonesox tank now).

Is this just symptomatic of my old, cold apartment, or other peoples 
experience?  Now I am curious!

        The goal would be the 1 paradise fish and some dithers.
Maybe a flag fish or minnows, and a few cories that like the colder temps.
and low-light live plants like java or bolbus fern and of course, anubius.
