My first response was "kill it, kill it with fire".

I had one once (well it was my dads, in my tank). Not in a small tank (well standard 3' tank) and it was a total jerk . It was worse than the kribs... it was actually worse than a pair of cichlids that spawned in that tank.

Basically either house it with fish that'll hit back, or exchange it, they are not community fish on the whole.

I had an RTBS for years and he was a bit of a bully to begin with but (i think someone suggested this earlier) whenever we introduced new fish we cleaned the tank out first and moved/ replaced existing furniture so he was too busy finding new territory to bother the new fish - he lived quite happily alongside Japanese fighters, neons, angels, sword tails and loaches - as long as he had his own wee hidey hole (usually a boat or under a log) he was quite content.

Good luck with him, i think they're great wee fish.

Lovely looking but little B*stards. Mine killed a few of my fish. I'd not have one again. It liked getting the platies and mainly red fish though....
