The American red flag tail, also known as the flagtail prochilodus or kissing prochilodus, is a medium-sized, peaceful, omnivorous fish that is native to South America:

Size: It can grow up to 10.8 inches long and weigh up to 1.23 pounds. 

Habitat: It is found in the Amazon basin, where it migrates in large groups to spawn in whitewater rivers.

Aquarium: It is a popular addition to large community tanks and can be a good dither for predatory fish or large cichlids. It prefers clean, oxygen-rich water with a moderate current.
