Representative Paradise fishphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
The classic form: alternating vertical red-orange and iridescent blue bars across the body with long flowing fins — one of the oldest fish in the hobby.
Keeper tips for this variant
A labyrinth fish that breathes air and tolerates cool water, but males are very aggressive to each other — keep only one male per tank.
