Can I put a paradise fish in my outdoor wcmm tank?

[ryanbuhler]

I was wondering if I could add a paradise fish to my outdoor 20gallon white cloud minnow tank 

the temp stays around 20-21degrees C through the day and drops to 15C at night and max around 26degrees C on a hot day

so what do you think? Im just worried about the temp.

Thank you so much!

Yes they can go in that temp no worries but will probably harass the wcmm and eat their fry

Thankyou so much!!!

if I have a school of 10 wcmm and 1 paradise fish would it still harass them a lot?

If so would the wcmm not mind it so much since they are in a big group?

Paradise fish can get quite a big larger than wcmm and are better kept with larger, rather than smaller fish.  Will it still harass a school - each fish has its own temperament.  You'll only know if you try it and see the number of wcmm diminishing and/or no sign of fry.  Best to have a second tank set up for the first few months, just in case.
