Anyone in el paso area ? I have a Desjardini Sailfin that keeps killing my other fish. Any advice ?
 
Took out a sand sifting blemmy, fox face and large female clown fish
 
Chases chocolate tang and left smaller male closn fish alone
 
Try taping a hand mirror to the side of the tank. The fishes reflection often distracts the aggressive fish.
 
Your tank size? How long have you had the fish?
 
120 gallon tank... took over set up and fish from previous owner

And how large is the desjardini now? If fairly big and that tank is full, it probably feels crowded/cramped with could be the cause of its aggression.

I have a desjardini in my 6footer, he occasionally directs traffic, but he has not killed anything.
