Put him in a tank on his own

Seriously though, these fish are notoriously aggressive when they start to mature. We have a gold one at work that constantly harasses our lone little bronze cory. He's a nasty little devil. As soon as I can I'm fishing him out and re-homing him, then I will get the cory some friends.

What on earth is in your tank. Someone should have told you what mixes and what doesn't, and what they should be eating.

Really ???

I've got one in my tank( inherited) he's about 3 inches long and I've never had any issues I've got 4 wild type guppies 9 Micky mouse platy's and atleast 18 mollies and none have a mark on them. If anything he runs a mile from my other fish

Bear in mind the platy's are about 2 months old

the guppies are about 8-9 months old

and the mollies are from 3 weeks old to maybe 2 years plus

And a albino plec also inherited
