Yeah man, those guys are mean as hell. And they only get meaner with age. My friend owned one that decided to kill all of his fish one day. So he took it into the LFS, and it killed all of the fish in the tank at the LFS. After being isolated, then sold, he was returned soon after for killing all of the customers fish. For some reason, the LFS then put it in a tank with other fish. It killed those too....
