True Flying Fox
Crossocephalus siamensis
The Flying Fox is a great fish for the larger community aquarium. Ignoring other species, the Flying Fox tends to stay by itself.
It requires a planted aquarium with many broad-leaved plants on which it can rest. The Flying Fox also requires these plants and rocks from which it can graze algae. This species can be kept with others of its own kind, as long as the aquarium is large enough to allow each of them to have its own territory.
Unfortunately, the breeding habits of the Flying Fox have not been documented.
An omnivore, the Flying Fox is not a particularly finicky eater. Ideal foods should consist of a high quality flake food, freeze-dried bloodworms or tubifex, and pelleted foods, as well as vegetable-based foods.
