paradise fish

[TheRed]

I need some advice from some one that has experience with paradise fish.  I was thinking about getting a pair, maybe just one, for a 20 gal planted tank that i am setting up over x-mas break.  I have read that they can sometimes be semi-agressive.  But some these sources have been wrong in the past.  Any help is appreciated.

Hi... Just wanted to say that getting more than 1 paradise fish in a setup would not be a good idea. I had 2 males in a 20 gallon and within a week one got killed by the bigger male. I don't know how things will go if you get 2 females but from my experience they are very territorial. Good luck.
