    No.

    Paradise Gouramis are sub-tropical and semi-aggressive fish best kept in species tanks. They can be exceptionally territorial and could kill a curious Platy. In turn a Platy could nip a male Paradise Gourami's long fins.

    No, do not add the paradise fish. Add a betta instead which are also equally as pretty. The paradise fish can be aggressive towards a platy and will provoke a danger to them.

    Paradise fish are territorial and it will be aggressive to the platies.

    I personally wouldn't, as platies aren't exactly the nicest fish around.

    i does not by way of fact the papadise fish could have a advise temper like bettas. you're able to purely shop sparkling gouramis by capability of themselves and shop them in pairs and in case you pay attention intently you pays attention the adult males making a croaking noise it truly is their mating calls.
