Barred Flagtail

The Barred Flagtail (Kuhlia mugil), also known as the Five-Band or Five-Bar Flagtail, is a silver schooling fish found among the Indo-Pacific Ocean. They have an elongated silver body with a white and black striped caudal fin. Their diet mainly consists of planktonic crustaceans and small invertebrates. They should be fed a mixture of carnivorous preparations, including mysis shrimp, brine or other meaty foods. In the wild they can reach sizes exceeding 16 inches, though they rarely exceed 12 inches in the home aquarium. They should be kept in a tank of at least 150 gallons with other peaceful fish - they may be kept singly or in groups.
