15" Flagtail Prochilodus

The other night, I took a bit of video of my 15" Flagtail Prochilodus, Murphy. He shares his 180 gallon tank with Bala Sharks, Clown Loaches, Denisoni Barbs, Scissortail Tetras, and Bristlenose Plecos.

He's a large peacefull fish who likes to watch what's happening in the room. Our TV is nearby and when we're watching something, he comes to the corner of the tank to watch too.

Thanks for the kind words. I picked him up about 4 years ago when he was 4".
I feed him a variety of sinking pellets, algae waffers, zucchini, blood worms, lettuce, etc.
