Flag Tail info please

[prm]

Hey,

What do I need to know to keep them?? I have a empty 300g and I was planning on:

1x Leichardti or Silver Aro
1xL-25 Scarlet pleco
1xL-330 Watermelon Pleco
1xTigrinus

What do they eat? Are they aggressive? And will he work in my tank? etc.

GOLDEN RULE: no rays!
sometimes develop a liking for fish slime and can kill slower inhabitants
usually non agressive, mine loves flakes pellets bloodworms etc.
if you want one to go with the aro get a BIG one

You mean a Flagtail prochilodus? Big tetra, gets about 12", good algae eater, mine was always pretty peaceful.

i always think of them as more fancier tin foils. they are also great at eating algea!

Omnivore that needs vegetable supplements like nori or spirolina, love hair algae.

Great looking fish! If I was a fish I would want a FF as my girlfriend. Theyll suck the algae of anything!
