About the Red Flying Fox

Name: Red Flying Fox

Max Size: Red Flying Fox is a medium-sized fish that can reach a maximum size of about 4-5 inches (10-13 cm) in length.

Recommend pH: 6.5-7.5

Recommended Temperature (°F): 75-82°F (24-28°C)

Diet: Red Flying Fox is an omnivorous fish that primarily feeds on algae and plant matter. They are known for their appetite for various types of algae, including green spot algae and black beard algae. Additionally, they will also accept high-quality flake foods, pellets, and vegetable-based supplements.

Temperament: Red Flying Fox is known for its peaceful temperament. It is generally compatible with other peaceful fish species and can be kept in community tanks. However, males may display territorial behavior, especially during breeding or if there is limited space, so providing ample hiding spots and plants can help mitigate any potential aggression.

Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Red Flying Fox is a schooling fish that prefers to live in small groups. Keeping them in groups of 5 or more individuals will help them feel more secure and display their natural behaviors.

Possible types of tank mates: Red Flying Fox can coexist with a variety of peaceful community fish species. Good tank mates include tetras, rasboras, livebearers, peaceful barbs, and other similar-sized fish that share similar water parameters. Avoid keeping them with fin-nipping or aggressive fish that may harass or stress the Red Flying Fox.

Behavior: Red Flying Fox is an active fish that spends a significant amount of time exploring and foraging for food. They are excellent algae eaters and can help control algae growth in the aquarium. They may occasionally nip at soft-leaved plants, so it's recommended to provide them with a well-planted tank with robust plant species. They also appreciate the presence of driftwood and rocks, which mimic their natural habitat and provide hiding places.

Fun Fact: The Red Flying Fox gets its name from its vibrant red coloration and its pectoral fins, which are elongated and resemble wings. While they cannot actually fly, their graceful movements and distinctive appearance make them a captivating addition to any aquarium.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
