These suckers are AGRESSIVE. they also like to grab rocks and smash them against the corners of the tank. they are big, bast and muscular. Do not putthem with fish that can be bullied or eaten. I have seen these things beat up on tiger oscars 4-5 inches longer than themselves.
When they say these are AGGRESSIVE, they really are. I too have seem them beat up on Oscars and BIG Gouramis. I have also seen it beat up on various species of aggressive African Cichlids. All in all, I think this fish has to be in a species tank or with other fish that are willing to fight (or with fish small enough to hide but aggressive enough to fight for food at feeding time) I DO NOT recommend them in any tank less than 40 gallons. I HAD TO GET RID OF THE ONE I HAD BECAUSE I WANTED MORE THAN JUST THIS FISH (AND A FEW THAT WERE HIDING FROM IT 100% OF THE TIME) IN THE TANK.
