I bought this FH last saturday for 50 bucks. Is it a male or female? it is about 8" and very aggressive and bullying its two oscar(7") tankmates and one midas. Why does it not have black markings on its body? anybody help me to solve the agression issue? my tank is 120g. Can i put it with my 2" red belly pirahas?

looks like a free marking red flame to me. also "appears" male to me too. no you cannot add piranhas. and with the aggression issue, this happens regularly. being as it is also a new fish of yours it will try to exert dominance to new tankmates.

also you must remember you are still working with a 4foot tank. that is if your 120 is standard size.
 
non marked male zz, nice fish
 
That is not a flame. Flame is a faded type of fish, this one isn't.
It's a male, and he's an almost flowerless ZZ.
