Flagtail question.

[DiscusManiac11]

I just bought a 4 inch flagtail today for $30 at my LFS. Was this a good deal? What is their diet?

i got mine for 25 about 3-4 inches, it eats everything i throw in the tank and cleans up whatevers left, ie massivore, shrimp pellets, algae wafers

trying to adapt him to dry shrimp, but he never eats...anyone got any tips 4 adaptation?

carnivore pellets? fei fengs are herbivores dude...dont lie...they feed mainly on algae!

 

[Dark_Angel]

I think they are omnivore, they like grazzing algae and meaty food

They are not omnivores - mine eats pieces of frozen krill.

The price you paid was fine, OP.
