Fascinating Fish

Just received my Red Lizard Whiptail. He/she is just a baby, but that’s okay, because I can watch it grow out in the tank! Super cool looking fish and looks healthy. I’m excited to have one of these! As always, great shipping. Thanks!

I honestly didn’t know what to expect with this order due to the type of fish BUT he came to me healthy and looking good. He’s been in my 65 gallon community tank now for a few days and is doing great! Once again Flip Aquatics did great!

GREATEST FISH EVER!!!

Greetings and salutations!!!
Hope all is well, I didn’t purchase these from Flip, but I love the YouTube stuff and have purchased other stuff. These I purchased from my LFS, and they are the greatest fish to own, next to the Zebra 🦓 pleco of course. I have 5 in a 40 gallon breeder, all get along, even hang out in groups!!! I got about 200 shrimps in the tank with them, no issues, and my shrimps keep breeding!!! Just wanted to say something, if you’re considering getting the red lizard, don’t, just order it!!! Heck get more than 1, you will not regret it! Just don’t be a d!ck and put them in a 10 gallon tank. Give em some space. Love you Rob… No Homo… peace!!! ✌️

Red Whiptail

He/she arrived safely and healthy. After putting it in the tank couldn’t find it for a few days, then saw it hanging from my floating plants it seems to be 1 of its favorite spots. I am going to order at least 1 more. Neat fish!
