    I got these because I heard they eat algae and boy do they! 10 minutes after they were in my tank, they started to eat the patch of hair algae and finished it in 2 days! Now my pleco is out of a Job lol

    This was my second order of flag fish to keep my other ones company and the first group have been active and thriving for a couple weeks and the ones that just came in are already swimming around the tank like they own the place. Beautiful additions to my tank!

    The fish all arrived healthy, and started eating within minutes if being in the tank, would definitely buy again!

    I expected a bland fish that would eat algae but these are beautiful. Red and blue, happy customer.
