I love these guys. They are so active. I started with 3, then I rescued 4 more.
Some pics. These guys are in a 450.

I love them. Ii wish I had a large tank for a group. Thus far, I have only kept single flagtails.
Totally agree, super underrated fish! I love how active and social they are. Do your 7 get along well together? Ever had any aggression issues with the group?
Definitely one of the coolest fish out there. and They can get big.
Ive had a few over the years but I only had one that grew good size in a 65g. Always super colorful though and great personalities.

I had 3 in a 450
The largest of them would relentlessly chase and pester the other 2
The harassment was more than I could take so they have been moved to a new home.
7 or more will distribute the aggression
Good luck to the fish

Yes, they get along. I think because there’s so many that the aggression is distributed evenly.
My interest too lies in knowing if they can be together long term - 7x in a 450gal. Glad to hear the beginning is good. Our 3x youngsters grew up in a 240 gal and after about 6inches had to be separated.
Morning coffee with the Flagtails. They are very personable and always hungry. The wife and I spend almost every morning with them. We feed them flakes, small massivor and algae pellets and frozen brine shrimp, blood worms, and mysis shrimp. So far all the fins are perfect, they do chase each other but no one is getting singled out. I think 7 is a good number. If I had less they might single out one and bully it.
