Super Red Paradise Fish – A Fiery, Majestic Display of Color
(Macropodus opercularis)

The Super Red Paradise Fish (Macropodus opercularis) is a breathtakingly bold and brilliantly colored variation of the classic paradise fish. With intense crimson hues and elegant, flowing fins, this labyrinth fish is a striking addition to any freshwater aquarium. Known for its hardiness, intelligence, and vibrant personality, the Super Red Paradise Fish is a captivating choice for aquarists looking to add both color and character to their setup.

Key Features:

  • Intense Red Coloration: This variant features rich, fiery red tones across its body and fins, making it a stunning visual focal point in any tank.

  • Labyrinth Fish: Like bettas and gouramis, this species can breathe atmospheric air thanks to its labyrinth organ, allowing it to thrive in lower-oxygen environments.

  • Personality-Driven: Paradise fish are curious, interactive, and full of personality. They often recognize their owners and display intelligent, territorial behavior.

  • Hardy & Adaptable: A resilient species that can handle a wide range of conditions, making it great for intermediate aquarists looking for a vibrant, low-maintenance centerpiece.

Tank Compatibility:

  • Best kept solo or with carefully selected tankmates due to semi-aggressive behavior

  • Compatible with larger, fast-swimming, non-aggressive fish

  • Not recommended with other labyrinth fish or long-finned species like fancy guppies

Care Requirements:

  • Temperature: 72°F–82°F

  • pH: 6.0–8.0

  • Moderate to hard water

  • Provide plenty of space, plants, caves, and visual barriers to reduce territorial behavior and stress

Feeding Tips:

  • Omnivorous and eager eaters—accepts flakes, pellets, frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and insect-based foods

  • A varied diet enhances coloration and overall health
