they will look stunning in the 8ft.have you thought what else to add in the tank with the flagtails???they are a peaceful fish.

i have been looking for one about 7" or bigger for a long time, there hard to find that big, i might haft to settle for small ones

they grow really quickly if you keep them well fed lol.mine has grown loads in a month.they eat pretty much anything.
