I ordered some fish from J. Rapps today. 5 columbian flag tails, 3 heros efisciados "rio maica," a vulture cat + 2 King Tiger Pleco's... What do you guys think about these going in with my bass?
New Tank Mates...

I'm not aware of the size of your bass, if they are small, I don't see any issues, I have a big flag in with all my bigger bass, I also have a Vampire, Ruby, and Adonis pleco in my tank. If your bass are bigger, they may smash the flags, usually people grow them up together if possible or find a bigger flag. You will probably have a problem with heros efisciados "rio maica, probably end up as food at some point.
I was told flagtails will kill eachother. Sooooooo unless u have 5 tanks, looks like you made a mistake. Research then buy > buy then research.

"May be ok" it works for very few. I've tried it and they tried to kill each other one at a time.

This....
I've tried with a few as well. Two ended up dead and became bass food. But, hey, it's your money, do what you please.

Well, it's been 2 weeks now & all the flag tails are doing good. I really like the look they add to the tank. They seem to really go at it some times, but everyone eats good & acts good. I don't know, but I am thinking maybe they are having a better chance of surviving because my tank is 30 inches tall. It seems the bass, the bottom dwellers, and them have a lot of space for them all to be comfortable. Just a theory!
