prochilodus liniatus

[headbanger_jib]

okay i picked these 2 guys
they are supposed to belong to the flag tail family prochilodontidae (may be misspelled)
right now they are in my africans tank till they get some size
and they started eating right away(sinking chiclid pellets)

anything else i can feed them???

anyways here are a few pics

the below pic is of the fellow whi is quite shy
the above closeups are of the other guy who is quite bold and isn't scared at all

hope you enjoyed the pics

here's a guide when buying schooling fish - buy at least 4 or 5. it just brings life into any aquarium. also because some schooling fish, paradoxically, would actually fight amongst themselves when kept as couples.

Sorry to tell you but these arn't Prochilodus, not even S/American, they are African, from the family Citharinidae, and are what look to be Distichodus affinis
