They just need a bit of time to get comfortable, then they unleash hell on smaller, more delicate tankmates. They're relentless fin nippers in the same way Leporinus or Distichodus are but on a smaller scale.
I seprated the males put one in my 110g and kept a male and emale pair in 20g im hoping that slows the aggression so far it has. If not tommorow im returning them to my lfs.
I keep one of these outdoors in my pond. INside the pond are small sunfish, and some chubs. Occasionally, during feeding I see the Flagfish get a little pushy.
