15 gallon yes amonia 0 nitrites 0

 

[Matt Nace]

what are your nitrates?
How long did your cycle take?

 

[Matt Nace]

oh and the paradise fish will fight if both are males and even if one is a female.

I would even see them going after the gourmis as well.

Rosys can get 5 inches .

tank has been set up 5 weeks not sure on nitrates paradise fish seem fine they each stay on own half of tank

 

[Matt Nace]

good luck if they are males..they fight like male bettas.
let us know when they get more mature if they tolerate one another..can you tell if they are males?

 

[canadian]

how can you tell there sex

 

[Matt Nace]

In a normal Paradise fish, the fins are longer, and the male is more brightly colored.

In an albino, I would think you would have to look at the dorsal and tail in fin length.

Remember, Young one can be together, but mature ones will kill one another in such a small tank.

just a heads up to you.
