Flagtails/Fei Feng

[Steve_89]

I picked one up today beacause I couldnt help myself...

Just want to know what you guys are feeding yours so I can pump this guy up quick so he can hang with my dat.

Growth rates would be sweet too!

Thanks,
Steve.

when i had one, it ate anything i'd throw into the tank... pellets or live food... it'd gobble up algae as well

Mine ate flakes, bloodworms, and mysis shrimp. He didn't last too long. I think my Ornate got to him.

I feed my tank spirulina flakes and I feed frozen krill to my monsters. the fie fengs eat the leftover krill and they are growing insanly fast.

Thanks guys,

Do you guys have any trouble keeping more than one together?

 

[BGG]

I'd be interested in any info on keeping them together too.

Iv seen a 6ft tank with 8 or 9 15cm Red-tailed Procolodus in it and it was as peaceful as a discus tank.

Thanks man. Now that I think of it, I've seen a couple of smaller tanks in public aquariums with several of them in it. I think I'll give multiples a try.

Any other personal experiences??

Ive heard of stories with people that start off with 15 and end up with 1 or 2.

The LFS I got this guy from had a few of them and they were all in separate tanks. I should have asked why while I was there but I was in a hurry.

In the wild I have seen pictures of them swimming around in schools, so i guess they could be a schooling fish. It is possible they only school when they r young and when they grow older they become more solitary..... which might explain why ppl start with 15 prochilodus and end up with 2 or 3.
