The Flagtail Porthole Cats are vibrant and active. They form a nice school and add a lot of visual interest to the tank. Easy to maintain and very peaceful with other fish. A great addition to a community aquarium.

These fish are striking with their striped tails. They swim together in a coordinated way and stay active throughout the day. The only thing is they need a well-planted tank to avoid hiding too much.

I’ve had them for three months now and they’re thriving. The tail patterns are very noticeable and they seem to enjoy the water flow. Very satisfied with the purchase.
