This Flying Fox comes from Thailand, Sumatra and Borneo. The flying fox is more colourful than the similar Siamese algae eater. It is territorial and aggressive to it's own kind. They do eat algae when young but are less efficient at it when they get older, preferring artificial flake and pellet foods instead.
