I love these guys. They are so active. I started with 3, then I rescued 4 more.
Some pics. These guys are in a 450.

I love them. Ii wish I had a large tank for a group. Thus far, I have only kept single flagtails.

Yeah, I had just one through high school. It use to eat from my hand. It was just awesome. I always wanted a group of them. I’m really happy with my 7. Just an underrated fish. So active and good looking.

Totally agree, super underrated fish! I love how active and social they are. Do your 7 get along well together? Ever had any aggression issues with the group?

Definitely one of the coolest fish out there. and They can get big.

Ive had a few over the years but I only had one that grew good size in a 65g. Always super colorful though and great personalities.

I had 3 in a 450
The largest of them would relentlessly chase and pester the other 2
The harassment was more than I could take so they have been moved to a new home.
7 or more will distribute the aggression
Good luck to the fish

Yes, they get along. I think because there’s so many that the aggression is distributed evenly.
