Meet the Paradise Fish, the original "water dog" of the aquarium hobby. Our complete guide explores the stunning beauty and fierce, aggressive personality of this incredibly hardy fish that can even thrive in an unheated tank, and why it is not a peaceful community fish. 🥊🔥💙

fuck yes! been so worried because the lone female that arrived (with 5 males) has been perpetually pregnant for months yet no fry. none. zilch. should be noted her bag had leaked and had no water when they arrived in the mail, but was somehow alive!
been a bit lonely with no ponds this year but now it looks like #pondseason2025 is back on the schedule!!!! so excited 😁😁😁😁

Here are two short videos of the same specimen.
Even if it's not a spotted bicolor, if I can develop a fixed pattern of a blue and gold color profile, that's perhaps even better than a buchi type approach considering its inherent instability. So this is a very interesting specimen for my pursuit of a " Sweden Kabuki " line.
I hope it will yield good results in the end.

Close up of the specimen with full taigaikou. When looking at it up close it appears it does not have a bicolor base body color but rather the taigaikou scales are more transparent in certain areas giving it a golden hue.

White Cloud Mountain Minnows, wildcolored longfin.
-
Had a bit of misfortune with my fry groups. Might have gotten too cold for them (I suspect it dropped to around 1° - no heater with the frys). Only have 6 left in their tanks. Thankfully there are a couple of fry already with the adult pairs. Might just let them grow up with their parents.
Anyway, these are my main breeders of each strain (still missing gold longfin, contemplating breeding my own; we'll see if glaser has more in spring).

Finally got around to buy more nets! Basically, the WCMM fry will seek refuge in the nets so I can collect fry each day. Been doing it this way for a year or so because my selected pairs seldom produces fry unless I have a large group and as large groups they predate on their own fry but I've only had one box until now. With this setup, I can collect between 1 and 30 fry each day per breeding group and raise the fry in separate rearing tanks.
-
this should save me some on the electricity bills 😅
been running heaters that can't be set below 22°C for a few days - ever since the water temperature dropped down to 3°C in the WCMM tanks and they went down to the bottom, looking very unhappy. 22°C is costly and expensive (especially here in europe) so hopefully this setup will be a good compromise 😁

Putting together a red pair of WCMM (only have one red female) let's see what happens!

It's always so exciting to find fry!
