The Paradise Fish (Macropodus opercularis

The fork tailed paradisefish (often just called paradise fish, paradise-fish, paradisefish), or paradise gourami (Macropodus opercularis) is a species of gourami found in most types of fresh water in East Asia, ranging from the Korean Peninsula to northern Vietnam.[3] This species can reach a standard length of 6.7cm (2+58in), though most are only about 5.5cm (2+316in).[2] Paradise gouramis were one of the first ornamental fishavailable to western aquarium keepers,[3][4] having been imported 1869 to France by the French aquarium fish importer Pierre Carbonnier in Paris. The paradise fish is one of the more aggressive members of its family. It is more aggressive than the three spot gourami, yet less pugnacious in nature than the less commonly kept combtail.
