He's not too bad - mostly just a little chasing, but at feeding time, he does his best to ensure that the Foxface doesn't get supper. I suspect that one of them is going to have to go

The Sohal is a beautiful fish, but don't bank on a leopard changing his spots...

Good point, you never know if they'll contine to be peacefull or if they'll change as time passes. My Sohal is 8" and my Salfin is 10". Right now my Salfin is "The boss" and keeps everyone else in line. No one challenges him, it's like they all realize he's the biggest and they all respect him. We'll see if time changes things or not, but hopefully they will continue to get along for years to come.
