True or False? Paradise fish

None of that is ideal for a 4" fish. A 2.5-5.5G Tank for a Paradise Fish is just mean.

Just because your LFS does it, doesn't mean you should do it. Just get a 10-20G if you really want one of these.
 
As previous posters have already told you.... these fish get up to 4" so a 5.5 gallon is way too small for one much less two or more. Minimum size tank is 20 gallons.
 
A 10 gallon set up is really cheap...often cheaper than any 5.5 gallon set up. I agree with everyone here...no 5.5 gallon tank!

A single paradise fish in a 10 gallon will make a highly interactive and social wet pet for your dad.

Unless they've grown up together, I"d only keep 1 paradise fish in even a 10 gallon tank...and I think the poster above will start to see friction as the fish hit breeding age.
