Ok I have a CK thats being a real di... jerk. I have own 2 prior to owning the 2 that I own now and have had none of the problems that y current biggest is giving me. This fish is AGGRO!!! Snaps at my other CK anytime it gets close, and snaps at everything else in the tank when feeding. I want to know how common it is and should I worry. Also the growth rate on this particular CK is amazing. He has grown about 4 inches in less than 2 months. Im almost sure that Im going to get rid of him.

Currently he's about 7 inches, I got him around 3 inces. His tank mates are a Silver Arowana, a 2nd GCK, A RTC and TSN. Current this particular GCK is at the top of the food chain... ... ... for now.

I have a tank full of weird fish, I will be adding posts about my Arowana and Catfish in their perspective areas.
 
CKs have difference personalities. Some are mellow, some are aggressive. Removing him for a few days might help and/or rearranging the decor could help as well.
 
Tank is small for the Species, but the fish arent that big so... Anyway the tank is 5x2x2 (150)
