Why is it so hard to find info on these guys? Ive looked everywhere and can find at best the very basics. I'm curious to know the main differences between taeniurus and insignis. Which of the two get the red tail? Growth rate? What an actual quality diet is rather than just algae and flakes. With the lack of info on these fish you would assume they're as rare a fish as you can buy.
This picture is about a year old. He's about 7" in the pic, a little bigger now. He eats just about anything-grazes constantly, pellets, wafers, krill, bloodworm, etc.
I also have a second flagtail that is about 4". I tried putting them together to see what would happen and watched in case the little guy got beat up, but to my surprise, the little one is MEAN. The big guy took it just fine and never actually got hurt, but the little guy was the one doing all the harassment.
