Fish Folk Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 When you've got a tank with Hydrophlox Shiners . . . it's hard to imagine needing a "centerpiece" fish. However, we've thoroughly enjoyed a pair of Florida Flagfish (Jordanella Floridae) which coexist peacefully in the tank with our Rainbow Shiners. Took a few photos, and a 1-min video showing some pre-spawning activity (see below). It's hard to capture exactly how beautiful their emerald jeweling is. About the size of mature platys, these are an active fish for a non-heated, small U.S. Native tank. We have them here in a 29 gal with Rainbow Shiners and a pair of Rainbow Darters. They eat flake foods and frozen foods. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they go for it in here, they tend to get a bit territorial . . . so it could cause some drama. But I keep an eye on things. Eventually, I may move them to another space to spawn on their own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
