It has been a while since I've posted, but here is a few pictures of my newest fish, a nice healthy flagtail. They are vegetarians from the Amazon, and mine is eating algae pellets, and algae flakes very well. It LOVES to eat, and will even come pull flakes and pellets out of my hand, which I have included a picture of.
His color is nice, and I gather as he grows the spots will fade, but the tail and fins should stay nicely colored. Most likely max size is 12-14, but some say as large as 18.
He is in my 40 breeder for a month, then going into the 180 planted. I HOPE he doesn't eat the plants, just the algae, but we will see. Some people don't have problems with them eating plants, others say the delicate plants will get munched, but I am willing to try it out.
