While your bass are small you may want to source a flagtail to help keep that wood clean.

I've heard stories of them sucking slime coats is that true?the wood stays clean it's just when I initially added it there was a white fungus that formed as it does with most driftwood the powerheads have gotten rid of 95% of it still blows pieces off now

Your broko will very beautiful once it gets mature, I have noticed when they have pronounced dirty spots on the belly it offsets the gorgeous green and reds. some broko’s don’t get those dirty spots there. Btw all your bass look really nice

I haven’t had issue. What I’ve read is that they can with rays.

what species do you have I'm not super familiar with flagtails, all I have heard is the slime coat issue and to not keep them in groups because they'll kill each other and that one of the species gets 18+24"

There are so many that look identical. Mines not as elongate as others I’ve seen. Very defined pattern on the tail. Higher dorsal fin.

Works well with the bass and came recommended since I was keeping bass. I plan on one per tank. I’ll be buying another small one soon.

Mine eats what the bass don’t get. Pellet training the bass sonolenty of pellets are left over. Other than that, krill and the algae that grow on the plants wood and rocks.

I pick the sveni up tomorrow. I got six.

you think the flagtail would eat shrimp and tilapia?

If I t could get it it will. They are greedy fish. Mine keep up with the bass and eat whatever I put in there.
