Yeah, the ones that I've had have all been like that. They are an aggressive species, much like the purple tang. The last one that I had and sold would wait for my favourite porcupine puffer to turn around and take bites out of his tail fin. Then he proceeded to take a chunk out of my maroon clown's fin, half of it. On the other hand, I've never had an aggressive naso tang,it seems so mellow compared to yellow or hippo tangs. The hippo is one of the nicest saltwater fish but it comes at a price!

That's the thing, they are such a beautiful vibrant fish, but holy attitude! The trigger watches out for her but doesn't really fight back when she does go after him. Timid??? This one sure isn't! She pouted when the sailfin first went in, but got over that fast. Otherwise she's boss of the tank.

I've never heard of a timid hippo tang.
If you are looking for a solid mild mannered fish, look into a blonde naso tang. LOVE THEM!

That's crazy I had mine for over 2 years in a 180glns and now its like 6"+ with no issues at all.Maybe I have a special one.Or maybe my tank is over loaded with caves from the rock work and corals.Thinking back another reason maybe the fish re-thank her stay and life as it came so close to death by trying to walk on my floor for a period of time as I brought it back to life it was almost dried out.My favorite and toughest fish.

I guess they are hit or miss. Not sure if I should keep her or not. She's fine with all the other fish. There's lots of places for her to hide in the rocks and lots of swimming room. Is there anything I can do to deal with the aggression?

mine was nice too. It goes to show that each fish has its own personality, no matter what people experience it is always a wild guess.
My niger trigger is a sweetheart, not touching anything in the tank and not agressive one bit.
