Flagtail Prochilodus

I think as long as the tank is big enough you will be fine. They are very active and need room to swim/play.

That’s certainly the plan. They are being added as dithers to my Umbee. Tank is 600 gallons. Wish me luck

Oh. I flagtails. I have six at 4”.

They seem to grow real slow after 4”. My largest one is 6”

Personally, not my favorite fish.

But a group like this sure do create an very nice impact.

Update: Had a leak in my sump. Noticed water in my garage, not good!
My sump is a shared system, I have both my 1100 and this 450 gallon tanks on this one 300 gallon sump. The details are in my 1100 gallon build.
Anyway I had to drain the sump, flip it over and repair/patch it. This process made the already skiddish flag tails go crazy.

This one flag tail has a huge bump on its nose! It’s crazy big. I almost think it’s a growth of some kind? I just don’t remember seeing it before this event

Does this fish ride the glass?
I have seen this in stores with fish that live against the glass. Almost a glass surfing callous.
