I had one and he was VERY docile, never bothered a thing. BUT, they have a very bad rep in general. Most of them are extremely aggressive.

Mine has been moderately agressive, but only as far as chasing my Sixline around. No blood has been spilt, as it were. And the chasing only happens sometimes.

IME, they are fine once territories are established. But adding new fish is next to impossible. Mine once ate an entire peppermint shrimp. The shrimp was as big as the fish. And he ate it whole. It is a great fish though as long as you plan around it correctly.

The lfs said he would be fine with my clowns and he picks on them daily. The clowns seem to get mad and charge at him together as a team. The clowns are fine but he seems to do it just to pick a fight. He's got to go back this weekend.

No I wouldn't let it eat my other fish. I would make the trip back to the lfs but that's just me.
