Description

Generally thrives in a set-up that is designed to resemble a flowing river with a substrate of variably-sized rocks, gravel and some larger, water-worn boulders, the flying fox or epalzeorhynchos kalopterum is a species that is relatively unfussy in terms of decor and should not harm softer-leaved plants.

While small specimens tend to hide away much of the time, they become increasingly territorial as they grow and can display particularly high-levels of aggression towards similar-looking species. This species probably lives a solitary lifestyle and in nature would probably have only come into contact with others of its own kind infrequently and during the spawning season.

Fish Size Guide:

The ‘Maximum Size’ outlined below is the length this fish can reach as a full grown adult. For the actual size please use the select menu above.

Discus.ae prefers younger stock for their better ability to adapt to new water parameters and higher tolerance against transport. On rare occasions you may receive larger specimens when small fish are unavailable, however the smallest should be expected unless the size is noted as “Large” or “Adult”.
