Semaprochilodus taeniurus - aggressive to conspecifics?!!

[Ami]

At least I don't need to worry about that! No aro in my tank and no plans to get one either.

He killed a barracuda??!!!

How do they actually manage to kill something like that? Is it a case of harassing it to death, because they don't appear to have any way of actually inflicting physical damage?

Now I'm worried for the safety of my other fish (snakehead, tyre track eel, lima shovelnoses, freshwater archers)!!

Vanimate - you say they'll eat 'anything else'. Do you mean that they can be predatory and will therefore eat the smaller fish such as neons in my planted tank if I move any of them?

Why can't someone tell the fish that they're supposed to be peaceful, instead of the fishkeepers?!

yup, just chased him to death and sucked his slime coat off.

Hi Ami, sorry I wasnt clear. I meant prepared foods, like flakes,pellets etc. The neons should be safe.
