Nice shot of the Flagtail kissing the aquarium glass. Its actually probably an excellent algae eater.
Yep, they're excellent anything eaters
Most of their waking time is spent cleaning your tank.
Yeah Matthew they're both in the middle of growth spurts now (in fact recently even more noticeable with the NTT, who has nearly doubled in size the last few months especially). That said I wouldn't be surprised if this growth slows down after they're about 10". Here's the Flagtail when I first got him about 8 months ago (about 4"):
Yeah I saw that post too, good info -- so then yours must be yellow fin, not red fin? I wish I could give such variety to my Flagtail, but he won't eat any vegetables I've tried so far. He'll eat just about any sinking pellet, but clearly prefers Hikari Sinking Carnivore -- lol maybe that's why he's growing so fast (but likewise that much protein might not be good for him long-term, I really need to get him on more veggies or at least more Hikari Algae Wafers and less HSC. That said he keeps the tank clean of natural algae.
