New Catfish

[Barracuda518]

I got some new 8 Portholes to go along with the 4 I already had and 10 Flagtails this week. The flagtails are a pretty good size and all are very active. I have been looking for these fish for along time and Im glad I was finally able to get a nice sized group. Its quite a site to see them schooling in such a large group around the tank

Any comments? Thanks for looking

I thought the same thing. Several other people have said that too.

No not really. They all have the same ways about them. What makes it so interesting is that they are found miles apart in the wild. The real only difference is that the flagtails get bigger. They all eat the same, act the same, all stay in a big group. They will venture off some, but when I come up to the tank, they all group together like in that picture. I think once they are settled in for a while, they will split up more.

I love flagtails and I have 4 of them myself. I was planning on getting 4 more to get a large group, but they're not easy to find!

I understand that. It took me over a year to find these. So I made sure I got a good sized group
