mines bigger Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 flagtails are soooo underrated as cleaners, when i get my big tank they will be going in before my rays will LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikrman Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Can't say if this is the case for all flagtails buy I've noticed once they've realised there's hikari or the like being fed daily algae eating seems to be forgotten about..

litigator666 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Your lucky with your flagtail. I have a few previously and they suck the slime of my ray. Just watch it as if it happens, it stresses the ray. I have a few pepermints as algae cleaner, but they don't do the job. I have to scrub the tank every now and then.
