Have a pygmy Yellowtail Angelfish that has been in my 90g. tank for 6 mos. He is suddenly being aggressive toward Chromis and a few of the other smaller fish. I have not added any new livestock in over 3 mos. except for a couple inverts. Why the behavior change? Have tried yelling at him, but no luck. I'd hate to get rid of him as it's a great looking and healthy fish, but he's being an a....hole.
 
Well tried the mirror and not sure if he just tired of chasing the other ones but they seem to be getting along better now. thanks.......
