Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

The Flying Fox is a great addition to your cleanup crew! They are a very efficient algae and detritus eater, which means less cleaning for you. As juveniles, both males and females look identical, but adult females will look noticeably thicker than males. Provide lots of hiding spaces to help reduce their stress especially while they are acclimating to their new environment. They should be added to aquariums with driftwood and plants to help mimic their natural habitat. Even though they love eating algae and detritus that cannot be their only food source, so provide a varied diet of algae wafers and sinking pellets.

- Care Level: Easy
- Temperament: Peaceful
- Minimum Tank Size: 30 gallons depending on school size
- Max Size: 6"
