I have a female J.floridae in my 29 gallon tank, and she doesn't bother any
of the other fish at all. More than one and they can get aggressive ...
and I believe I've heard reports that single male J.floridaes can be
aggressive on their own, though I can't confirm this.

"Dave M. Picklyk" empowered us with this mighty blow
against the Patriarchy:

Really? Cool. Would just one flag fish be fine for a 15 gallon? I'm
going to be adding about 10-15 cardinals in there next month. They
wouldn't hassle any of the fish at all??

Thanx

get

please help?

My florida flag fish seem to ignore plants and eat hair algae. If
you
keep
them well fed I think they should be OK. I have two in a ten gallon
and
they
don't seem to impact the plants.
