The worst fish i have ever seen for aggression believe it or not was a hillstream loach. Man this thing would zoom about the tank targetting corydoras and latch onto them something chronic, it was swiftly removed from the tank and taken back to lfs. It did however stress my corys so much that it killed three of them. Crazy stuff

WARNING- DO NOT BREED, FEED OR PET THE PUDDLE!

Ironically, I seen two of these having a good scrap in the fish shop yesterday. I didn't know of it before, or much about them before. Never looked twice, not sure why. They look like they should be my cup of tea.
