I'm sure you are right. I've heard tons of stories with sixlines becoming mean or agressive as they age. It sounds like its the rule and not the exception that this trait comes out later in their lives.

I've had my sixline for almost 2 years and I can attest that although he was a model tankmate for most of the time, it has been the past six months that he has turned into a pest. He now spends most of his day rushing up to his reflection at the side of the tank and flaring his fins. The rest of the time he spends picking on my clowns.

He is not a super agressive feeder though, he tends to wait for food to sink to the bottom of the tank before he pops out of the rocks to grab it.

Makes me wonder if it has gone into some mating frenzy.
