The paradise gourami is a brightly colored, hardy freshwater fish known for its vibrant alternating blue and orange stripes, forked tail, and long, flowing fins on males. Reaching about 4 to 6.7 cm (1.6 to 2.6 inches) long, these fish are also known for being semi-aggressive and territorial, especially males. They are native to East Asia and are one of the first ornamental fish introduced to the West.
