Daily fish fact #418

Flagtail (Semaprochilodus insignis)!

They do well with other fish species, but tend to be aggressive towards their own kind; if you keep multiple in an aquarium, it's recommended you keep at least six so any aggression isn't directed towards a single fish! They're omnivorous, but mostly feed on plants.

this species of flagtail can be distinguished from the other in its genus (k. sandvicensus) for its larger eyes and bronze stain on its back. these fish grow to 8-9 inches.
