Emperor Angelfish

So what is the deal with the Emperor Angelfish? Is this fish always aggressive? He likes to chase several of the fish in the tank and nip but hasnt caused any damage yet. I was considering pulling him out of the tank, but I have triggerfish and i think the emperor is the king of the tank.

Yes it will always be that aggressive, doesn't matter the tank size. You could rearrange rock work while putting the emperor in time out in the sump. When he settles back into the DT the aggression will start again.

Dude there are a lot of huge aggressive fish in there.

But anyway, dmorty (autocorrects to snotty, lol) is correct. They are known to be hyper aggressive.

That is until that clown trigger flips his switch.
