and just hangs around near the surface.Any advice would be appreciated.

Graham,

Try putting the agressive fish in a "fish jail" for a few days. I use a
plastic container with holes in it. (Don't use the wifes' tupperware).

Try rearranging the tank decorations, plants, etc. This will break up
the old "territories" and get everone started on an equal footing.
Sometimes this helps.

The BBC "Trade Secrets" series (the episode on fish keeping) recommended
you had a fish on a stick (a drawn one) and you paraded it in front of
the tank when feeding. Not sure why/if this works. Also depends on the
quality of your drawing :- )
