Re: NFC: American Flagfish, Jordenella floridae
Seems like the first thing that would happen is that the angelfish will
eat the neons and the ottos (angels are well known to snack on smaller
fish, especially neon tetras, once the angels get big enough to do so),
followed by the flagfish nipping the fins of the angelfish. Also, keep
in mind that flagfish like hard, alkaline water which the ottos, neons
and angels may not do well, unless they are being kept in similar water,
as they normally prefer soft, acidic water, but individuals may have
been acclimated to other water conditions.
Suggest that if the fish are compatible with hard, alkaline water, your
best bet may be to put an in-tank divider in the 90g and have flagfish
on one side and the angels on the other. Probably the neons and ottos
would do better with the flagfish, which are primarily herbivorous, so
expect to provide supplemental plant foods and algae to help keep them
in top condition. Flagfish which lack sufficient plant foods are
greatly reduced in color - I have some at home that get regular feeds of
algae and soft plants (PS: they eat duckweed !!!!) and they are
absolutely gorgeous. The specimens I see in pet store tanks are quite
pale in comparison.
