Flag-tail Prochilodus

[JJHUNGZ]

Does flag-tail prochilodus go well with peacock bass, motoro ray and siamese tiger?? And what category of fish is it in?

 

[bassfisher91]

I've seen them kept with those fish many times so long as it isn't small enough to get eaten.

Do they grow as big as peacock bass?? Whats their maximum size?

 

[bassfisher91]

They can get pretty big, possibly up to 15 inches but most are around 12 or so. They grow very slowly though so its not something you could grow out with p-bass.

I don't see how it will not work. Just make sure the flagtail is ahead in size so it avoids becoming an expensive snack. They grow to 16" in the best conditions but as was said, 12" should be common. They are a bane to planted tanks, though. But they are good algae eaters also.

I had one with my pbass never had any issues with them. The best algae eater I have ever seen, never needed to clean my glass when I had him. They can be a bit skiddish so make sure you have a tight lid, they will find there way out of the tank.

Just make sure with the ray that it doesn't develop a taste for slime coat. They are EXCELLENT jumpers.
