I was at my favorite LFS (Petworld in Lawrence, KS), and they had more paradise fish than I'd ever seen (spiketailed, albino, black, and flame).

Anyone ever seen flame paradise fish before? Very cool looking. Anyone know anything about them? I assume they're a line bred color of the standard paradise fish, but they could also be a hybrid of the black paradise fish and the standard paradise fish.

Just curious...I love paradise fish, and these guys were new to me.

Here's a pic from thatpetplace.com (not a very good pic - the LFS fish looked much nicer)

I got some and they are very cool. I have a batch of fry from them right now. Found mine at Aquariums Etc. in KCK. I am a big fish hobbyist in the KC area. Nice to see a fellow KC fish keeper on the forum.

JackD - that's where I got my new black paradisefish (see the black paradisefish thread). Aquariums Etc. was a way cool store...I'd never been there before. They still had flames, but the flames were larger and I've read M. spechti is a little more peaceful and I was putting the black paradisefish in my community tank to eat small platy fry.

I have my black paradisefish in with two spiketailed paradisefish, 2 honey gouramis, several variatus platys, and 5 harlequin rasboras. I'll have to see how it all works out.

My avatar is my new black paradisefish...shorter in length than my spiketaileds which are less than 2". It's small enough I'm still not sure if it's a juvenile male or a female...only time will tell.
