Great tank!!! What a huge flagtail you have there!

What size are your loaches?

The loaches range around 5-6 inches. I'm looking forward to them getting bigger, but I have to be patient as they are slow growers.

The Flagtail grew from 4 to 15 inches in about 4 years.

That's pretty awesome. I have four clown loaches... they range from 1.5" to 7". They're one of my fave fish. I've been thinking about getting a flagtail but I know it wouldn't be any time soon.

Great job on raising some excellent specimens!
 
Thanks!
The stock is pretty much the same as it was when I recorded this video... only bigger now, and I've added a couple more clown loaches.
 
now thats a... MONSTER FISH!
 
how long does it take your flagtail to grow? i had mines for a few months now almost a year and he never grew an inch, just fatter. hes been at 6inches
