Does best with no other flagtails around and is hands down the best algea eater I have ever had!!!! At times they can be prone to eating others slime coats, so you gotta keep an eye on it....

I agree w/ Gr8. They also do an excellent job skimming the surface..lol. Initially i was under the impression they were slow growers because my first one i bought at about a foot and saw no growth the whole time i had him, but the one i got from Infinite has nearly doubled in size in a few months.
 
those are awesome looking fish. get one, get one, get one!!!!!!!

i admire one of these guys everytime i goto aquarium adventure over here. they have a nice size one in a display tank with 2 large stingrays.
 
does anyone know of where i can get one in the internet? i looked in the vendor forum and didnt see any

they grow fast up to 7"s then slow right down... they can get quiet large up to 16" give or take so min tank probly should be 6x2x2 because mine is always active.

here is a pic of mine:
