2) would it be better 2 use no gravel, but then i cant really use plants!!

3)what filter is best for this aquarium in (1) fry safe name and brand plz

4)i bred bettas before but it took ages to get fry since the bubblenest broke the eggs fell out and stuff and it just wasnt really a sucess will i get this with paradise fish r will they be ok to breed

5) when i bred bettas i used styrofoam cups for the bubble nest but instead the male betta when i had him used to build it up against the wall of the aquarium

6) r the fry good with parents ; no fry being eatingwise

I don't know too much about breeding the paradise fish but I have read a little. I hear that they generally build bubble nests on floating plants. I think lowering the water lever and raising the temperature will trigger spawning. In terms of parenting, the male tends to look after the kids (similar to bettas). Also similar to bettas, the male may attack the female when the fry come out. I have read that its actually best to remove both parents shortly after birth because the male will refuse to eat while parenting... and eventually may or may not eat the fry. This is just what I remember reading though, some of this could be inaccurate.
