Interesting. My bass is extremely territorial and does not take crap from other fish; no matter their size. He's taken several shots at my 4' eel, which he obviously can't eat. He also picks on a bluegill that he can't fit in his mouth. Not sure how our experiences are that different.

Just like any other fish, each have their own personalities

so is a smallmouth a better option?

Even with a smaller mouth they are still predators. Smb also prefers cooler water 60s ime
 
would it be better since it could not eat as large of fish in my tank since i also have 2 (3in) creek chubs? he would be the smallest fish in my tank, the next one in being small is my 3inch warmouth
 
I think it would be ok for awhile as long as you keep it well fed, but I think ultimately the chubs will become a meal
 
i hope it will be well ged if i feed my fish 4 bloodworm cubes every day + almost everyday some earthworms. I will get a smb at 3 inches. would 2 creek chubs do ok in a 20? they are growing fast... my 3in (now just under 4in) ate a 3in earthworm last week.
 
You should try to get it on pellets as soon as you can to maximize nutrition
