Flag Fish

[piranha45]

Is there a way to sex flag fish? I have 3 specimens in a 10g, one's about .5", the other two about .75". The smallest specimen has vibrant red coloration on him, and seems to bully the other two around. These guys pretty easy to breed? What size do they max at?

Yeah..noticed that too. they are aggressive to each other. You have to shoal
them to prevent damage. At least 3-4 .
