    So glad I watched this video. I've been trying to find the fish I had when I was a child, but could never find it. I always said it looks like a gourami but still couldn't locate it. It was a paradise fish that just had a unique coloring that differed from the rest. It was so peaceful and would interact with me. I loved that fish.

    I have a Paradise fish and just love it. They are very active, seemingly have big brains like cichlids (they recognize the owner), and thrive without a heater.

    I might try the paradise fish. I have a 29 gallon with white clouds, cherry barbs, albino corys, 4 aquatic frogs and some yoyo loaches I picked up to remove my bladder snail problem. I need a little color and was leaning on the idea of cardinal tetras, but paradise looks nice. I don't have a heats so the temp sits at around 72-74 during the winter on the high end for the white clouds and the low end for everything else.

    • @REDnBLACKnRED
      @REDnBLACKnRED ปีที่แล้ว

      @Its me or whatever I think this is taken as a good measure because it is an easy way to ensure somewhat decent tank parameters without having to explain it all in depth. Generally people can make a decent estimation of when a tank is overcrowded. What's more important is to make sure the tank, its filtration system and the microbiome can handle the bioload. And of course the type of fish matters too. Some like to swim and have space, some are territorial, some are aggressive. Heavily planted tanks can manage a higher bioload (more fish) than non planted ones. All that will also determine how many you can have. It is not a simple math, but for beginners, that is a manageable ballpark measure.

      It is possible to keep guppies with betta fish but just saying that you are likely to be more successful with neons. I recommend that you have a minimum of 15-20 gallon tank with some live plants for both options.
      I will also suggest amano shrimp instead of rcs because they are translucent clear colour(good at hiding) and eat more algae. They also get bigger than rsc and dont breed.
