Okay well my smallest of the 3 Red Hooks is chasing or trying to chase every fish in the tank, the other 2 RH and even attacks the Oscar but doesnt touch the angel none of them do lol, the angel just drifts around.

It will even out "chicken" my convict lol the only fish that will actually stands up to it and actually chase it around is my Spotted Climbing Perch heck it even scares me lol and the Oscar just lets it go without anything.... God damn lazy fish BOOO OSCARS BORING AND DUMB!!!:irked::ROFL:

Any Ideas as to why it is going on a rampage? I have recently removed 3 Lemon Fin Barbs if that could be the problem?
 
lol ya just Red Hooks have teeth that is all I am worried about...
 
oh the angel isnt getting kicked around, it just get ignored by all the fish, I guess because it looks so big. as for the convict it is really only the small SD that messes with the convict...

I bought one that was the size of a thunbnail and it was extremely mean, it attacked the fins of other fish and even ate a few baby cichlids. At first it ignored plants and seemed interested only in meat, and I wondered if the store had sold be a baby pirahna by accident. But as it grew it seems to have changed its ways. It stopped eating feeder guppies and instead ate my Anubias down to the stems! Now it is about 3" and ignores all other fish, and went into a big tank with many fish species, including another big 8" RH and some silver dollars. They all school together most of the time.
 
my redhook is agressive towards my "normal" silver dollar, but then my tinfoil puts it in its place
