OK now I need help. I think I may heve 2 or more males. How can I tell?
All 3 of mine look like the male in this photo:

After 5 days of feeding and watching, one fish has started to hide all the time, and another fish has been displaying his fin's. I can not tell if this behavior is only twords one or both of the other fish, as they all look the same.

well if they look like that then you have males. I had 4 males lyretails in my tank at one point and they would display to one another but sometimes hang out with each other, as long as their are no females to fight over they will be fine

I hope it works out - wish you were closer, I would consider buying one of the males (if you have to sell)!

I keep reading about adding one male or one male and multiple female Lyretail's. Is there a problem with just adding one male and one female?
