Yea, mine does not swim around beating on other fish, but he is aggressive. He chases my last lonely green chromis around, beats my clown goby up every now and then and does the same to my dragonette. Then, I introduced a long nose hawk to the tank the other day, and had to take him back out because the six line was just beating the crap outta him. He cornered him and wouldnt let him out of the corner. As soon as the long nose would move out, the six line would attack him. I cant stand that type of aggresion in my tank, so I am now on a mission to get him outta there! Its too bad to, becuase I really do like him, just not his attitude.
