First, the paradise fish,as our Chinese called them as 斗鱼(dou yu)----the fighting fish.There are four kinds of paradise fish in China,Macropodus opercuiaris(South China), Macropodus ocellatus(North&Central China),Macropodus hongkongensis(Hongkong,Guangdong,Guangxi,Fujian,Jiangxi) ,Macropodus spechti (only Guangxi).They are so commen in China that in the ancient time, people have feed the paradise fish and let them fight to get fan.
