FLAG TAILED PROCHILDUS

The Flag Tailed Prochilodus is a freshwater fish known for its distinctive, brightly colored tail fin, which often features bold yellow or orange markings. Adults typically grow to around 12–18 inches in length. They are fast swimmers and move in schools, which helps protect them from predators in rivers and flfloodplain habitats.

These fish are detritivores, feeding primarily on algae, plant matter, and organic particles in the riverbed. Their foraging behavior plays an important role in recycling nutrients and keeping river ecosystems healthy.

Flag Tailed Prochilodus are migratory, often traveling long distances during rainy seasons to spawn in shallow flfloodplains. This migration is crucial for maintaining healthy populations across their range.

The Flag Tailed Prochilodus uses its sensitive mouthparts to sift through sediment, finding tiny food particles that other fish might miss.

LEAST CONCERN (LC):
Less likely to become endangered anything soon.
