The Flying Fox is an active and relatively peaceful fish known for its algae-eating ability. However, it can become territorial with age, especially if housed in undersized tanks or with insufficient hiding spaces. It is best kept in larger community tanks with other non-aggressive species. An abundance of swimming space and hiding spots like driftwood or rock caves is recommended.
