Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers
The Siamese Flying Fox has a very territorial personality. As they grow older, this character becomes more pronounced. Therefore, if the breed with which they are mixed is territorial or aggressive, not only will there be constant fighting, but both parties may be injured or become ill due to stress.Therefore, it is safe to place them with relatively docile breeds. However, when placing them with a breed that is not a good swimmer, be sure to check that they are able to eat their food. The Siamese Flying Fox has a voracious appetite and may even try to take food from other breeds, so it is important to make sure that the poor swimmer is able to eat.

What to look for when keeping a Siamese Flying Fox
The Siamese Flying Fox is a recommended breed because it is easy to keep and can be mixed with other species, but it is not well known. This is due in part to its subdued body coloration and lack of conspicuous features. However, the Siamese Flying Fox is even more unique in that it eats moss and algae. It often eats the "black bearded moss" (red algae) that grows in aquariums, and it also eats sticky algae such as "blue-green algae.For this reason, they are very useful. It is important to note that if you start feeding commercially available tropical fish food to a Siamese Flying Fox that has been placed in a tank to treat moss and algae, it may stop eating the moss and algae. Therefore, please feed them only as an addition to the other species you are mixing with them. The Siamese Flying Fox is a great species for feeding moss and algae, so if you have a chance to see one at a specialty store, I highly recommend you take a look.
