Its streamlined shape and active swimming behaviour make it a standout species for large display aquariums with plenty of open space.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlagtail Prochilodus are strong, active swimmers that appreciate excellent water quality, powerful filtration, and a spacious aquarium. They are generally peaceful with similarly sized fish but can become boisterous, so they are best kept with robust tank mates. As they mature, their size and activity level make them better suited to very large aquariums rather than standard community setups.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Intermediate to experienced aquarists with large aquariums\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 600 litres\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 24–28°C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003epH Range:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 6.0–7.5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Best kept singly or in a group in a very large aquarium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Generally peaceful; best with similarly sized, robust community fish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Approximately 30–35 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.
