are thinbars known to be agressive? he's been pretty chill for the past 6 or 7 months then today he jus starts dive bombing my leichardti and pbass. he was goin crazy. should i expect more of this. i was hoping to keep the thinbar and lei together for life... hope he mellows out.
 
Thin bars are actually known as the least aggresive Datnoid. All fish have there own personality so there are bound to be some aggressive thin bars out there. What are the sizes of your fish and what size is the tank?
 
the tank is a 150, 6x2x20"wide and the bass are about 4-5", lei is about 9", dat is about 4-5". he's never acted towards everyone else like that. maybe he was way hungry lol. i fed the tank after he was going crazy. i dont know whats going on right now with the tank. cuz the tems started snapping at my lei now but i think there jus being defensive. hope everyone calms down, they've all been together for the past 7 months

They haven't grown much in 7 months, especially the Bass.
 
Probably fish just being fish.....Are the attacks deliberate or simply nipping/chasing each other when they happen to roam near one another?

Can try rearranging the tank that may work for a while.
 
the tems are the newest to the tank i apologize. dat and lei have been together since i got the lei back in feb which is about 6 months or so.

dats grow slow anyway, so not much growth came from him

the lei grew from 2" to 9" in the 6 month period

the bass i got in feb but grew in a diff tank, i introduced him after he got to about 3.5" as i didn't want it to get eaten. tems do grow way slower then i expected tho

prolly just fish being fish i guess. not literally attacks but for about 10mins straight he was bomb diving the lei and the 2 tems. quick upward strikes causing the fish to jump/run dramatically. haven't done it since tho
