Here is a link with more info on a paradise fish as well as a compatibility chart

My recommendation is bringing him back where you bought him, because he's definately not compatible with the fish you have in your tank, sorry
Hope that helps
Good luck

it stops when the paradise fish has killed both.
paradise fishes are very territorial, even more territorial than dwarf gouramis and angel fishes, and they are also meaner than both of them together.
you can keep those three species together in an extremely large tank only (3 meters - that's 10 feet - long)

You probably have a male. They are a bit feisty. Most likely it will not stop this behavior. You can try to break up the line of sight with the addition of live or plastic plants, as well as a piece of driftwood. You can also buy a divider to help keep the peace.

The paradise fish is very territorial. It won't stop until he/she is satisfied with everyone shaking in their respective corners.

Rearrange some of your decorations in your aquarium so that the fish will have to establish new territories. Otherwise, it will probably continue.

It probibly wont stop, Try re-aranging your deco/plants and if this doesnt work then you should return him to the store or buy a new tank for him
