Albino Paradise Fish - Macropodus opercularis sp. Albino
The Albino Paradise Fish is the albino form of the Paradise Fish . Paradise fish are not good tank mates with fish in their same size. It is better to keep them as a male and female pair in their own tank. The paradise fish will accept most foods and easy to keep.
Ideal Tank Mates
Albino Paradise Fish thrive best either alone or with larger, peaceful tank companions such as goldfish, sizable gouramis, or sturdy catfish. To minimize aggression, avoid housing them with similarly sized or hostile species. Given their territorial nature, providing a spacious aquarium equipped with ample hiding places is essential. Additionally, keeping them with a female or grouping females together promotes a stable and peaceful community.
Feeding & Nutrition
Albino Paradise Fish are opportunistic omnivores, naturally preying on small fish and invertebrates. Their diet should include algae-based flakes complemented by live or frozen options such as bloodworms. Feeding them once or twice daily with a mix of protein and plant matter promotes vivid coloration and supports their overall health, ensuring optimal vitality in your aquarium environment.
