Siemese Fighter fish photos

The red one is called "Red bean" while the blue one is "Paran", which means blue in Korean. Paran is strangely friendly in the community tank full of gold fish, mollies, guppy and rosy barbs. Probably it's because when it comes to meal time Paran doesn't compete food fast enough with the other fish. From my observations, Siemese fighter fish tend to stare at their food before eating them. Sometimes I feel bad for it because while it was staring at the food, the quick rosy barbs or the greedy goldfish just got to it before Paran even start to action. Interesting and not hard to keep, as they are pretty relax, lazy fish. Likes to sit around and doesn't move much (hence the high quality photos), I will plan to have another one later, after I can keep the number of fish down.

There were a few times when Paran got aggressive when I put Red Bean in the adjacent tank. Maybe you'll be wondering why not much mentioning about Red Bean? Well, as you see the fish is so beautiful, my yabbie ate it a few days later, as they were inhabited in the same tank. Sigh, that's nature, but I still had a good photo of it.
