Vanessa Gill –
The flagtail blanquillo is a striking addition to my aquarium. It has a unique appearance and stays active throughout the day. I’ve kept it for three months and it’s thriving in a 55-gallon tank with moderate flow. The size is larger than expected, so I made sure to provide ample space and hiding spots.

This fish is quite beautiful and adds a lot of visual interest. It’s not aggressive and coexists well with other peaceful species. I noticed it becomes more active during feeding times. The XL size requires a larger tank, but it’s worth the investment for the aesthetic value.

The fish arrived healthy and seems to be adjusting well. However, it’s more sensitive to water changes than I expected. I’ve been monitoring water parameters closely. It’s a rare species, so I’m glad I found it through this seller.
