Overstocked Still?

If you are talking about Siamese Flying Foxes (aka Siamese Algae Eaters) I completely agree with you, however if it's a true Flying Fox (Epalzeorhynchus Kalopterus) it should be 1 per tank.

Its behavior and requirements much resemble its two close relatives, the Red-tailed Shark and the Rainbow Shark (Epalzeorhynchus bicolor and E. frenatus), which are known to be aggressive. It is a loner, which can similarly defend its own territory aggressively. It will harass all fishes which have similar appearance, including for example Black Neon Tetras.

Flying Fox can be kept in a community tank, but it might chase other fish viciously from its territory. There shouldn't be more than one adult Flying Fox in a tank.

It must be a Siamese Algae Eater then because they are not aggressive or territorial at all.
