Yeah, all you have to do is google 'Chinese algae eater' and you will find that they get pretty big and aggressive when older :/ .

My freind had one that killed two angel fish.
 
I have one of these Chines algae eaters as well. Gets a long well with my other fish (angel, neons, zebras), but attacks the other algea eater all the time and bites him.

You will need to rehome him.
 
Yes you will have to rehome him. You could get a bigger aquarium for him. I read somewhere that they are good with cichlids. You could have a cichlid only tank and put him in it. That would work. Try some think like a 55 gallon. :D
