Pretty fish. Need a big tank for that sucker!

I believe indicus tops out around 10”, is a benthic feeder and eats free floating algae, which is why I’m surprised they aren’t more popular

I want one but $$ and none locally. I have it’s cousin, the pink-tail and happy for now (also a beautiful fish to me).

Both are great looking fish!
How’s your doing? How big was it when you got it and now?
What’s it live with?

I always had good success with pink tails. Eats great like a pig and hardy, not shy at all. Grows well with good feeding. Mines about 4.5 to 5 inch. I keep it in a fowlr tank only with blue jaw & clown triggers. Also other large/small angels, tangs, etc. always a mode citizen.
