Consider yourself lucky, BD. I've had several green terrors and only one
had the expected attitude. The rest were/are wimps. Even the sparky
one's kids turned out to be luke-warm. A fish like that deserves to be
treasured in his own tank, perhaps with a mate.


yeah there definately seem to be a variety of sub-species of these, because
the last two I had were moderately aggressive as well, this one is like the
meanest Red Devil I ever owned, like an Umbee or something, and he's just a
baby (I may have neglected to mention all of these fish are small juveniles,
the Green Terror is about 2")

But as you insinuate, the meanest of these varmints are often the most
interesting and fun conversely, with the most interesting intelligent and
interractive personalities. Thats why I just have to keep this sucker.

Right now he has kind of calmed down for the time being since I took the
oscar out (the puffer was taking bites out of it...) he may have plateued in
his aggression after a long session of fighting his reflection or he may
just be waiting to pick a new victim. The mirror is out for the time being
too.
