Flag Tail Prochilodus

[rayw]

I’ve been looking to add a Flag Tail Prochilodus to my tank.

I seen a couple of them at the few LFS I recently visited but I noticed they did not have the orange and black striped tails but clear/yellow and black tails.

I’m looking for the bright orange and black stripped flag tails. Are these clear/yellow black stripped tails the same Flag Tails? Is it just a matter of waiting for the tails to color up?

Thanks
Ray

I think the diet they are on is what gives them the intense red tail coloring.

There are two varieties of FF, both have similar tail colors. The colors aren't seen I'm juvie fish though.
