Native Keeper Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hi everyone! I was wondering, can multiple Florida Flagfish be kept together in the same tank? or do they not like each other? I tried to find my answer online but came up with nothing, thx for any info you can give on the subject! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widgets Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I have a pair, 1 male and 1 female, and I have not seen any problems. I have read that adding a second female would give some respite from the male's affections. I think having 2 males would require a larger tank with broken sight lines such that each male could stake out some territory. I do not remember who, but someone here reported some aggressive behavior towards other tankmates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombeaux Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Hey, think I can add my question here: I have a tank at my work desk (as part of going back to the office) and it is the 15 Gallon Aqueon Column Tank with no heater (13" x 13" x 19" and temp is kept at 70f in my office) with lots of anubias, a huge amazon sword, watersprite, and water lettuce. I'd like hardy fish so I'm thinking a solo female FFF (so a FFFF? 😄) and 5 to 7 longfin white clouds. Thoughts on this stocking combination?

I personally wouldn't recommend that combo, flagfish are bad fin-nippers and a 15 gal. Column tank really doesn't leave much room for the white clouds to escape. If you're dead set on the flagfish, I'd suggest one of the short finned types of white cloud, or bluefin killifish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Keeper Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 @Tombeaux, If it weren't for what @L_goodei200 said, then I'd say it's fine, but y'know... maybe look into Elassoma, another nano coldwater centerpiece fish. If they're anything like regular sunfish, they'll do fine with the White Clouds. Or you could just do the White Clouds by themselves and get like ten of em, which would be the best and least risky option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
