12" flagtail!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Looks good. Hope he's in a big tank. They get super jumpy in smaller tanks. I have 3 yellow fins at 3" and one red at 7" and 2 reds at 12-14". Tried throwing the 12" in a 125g and almost killed himself trying to jump out. Ended up breaking his dorsal fin and cutting up his face. Threw in a 1000g pond and its slowly recovering
 
it took around 4months to get that big. from 3". my cousin seems to grow fish really fast. tankmates are a 22" silver aro and 2 motoros. Jumpy? when i helped my cousin move house, the flagtail was flying everywhere! also, he said it has daily fights with the silver aro
 
are you sure its 12inch as it still has the black spots around the tail fin only really seen in young flagtails
 
yeh im sure. plus only the adults only have the dark colours on the tail
 
3'' to 12'' in 4 months!?!?! ...what food did he use?

its a beauty! mines are very slow growing...
