Bala Shark

[balashark]

My bala shark has recently began to become aggressive towards everyone in the tank. At first i thought he was trying to eat all the smaller fish like the neons and cherry barbs but he is taking nips at the gouramis and the other bala sharks. He's pushing 7 inches and he's never been like this before. He appears to be hunting around the tank but hes too big and slow for the smaller fish in all the plants so no ones been eaten yet. Any ideas as to whats going on here?

yeah its a 55 gallon tank, i've had him for more than a year now. He's returned to normal and isn't attacking anyone. strange enough it was the day that the moon was full that he was acting all crazy, i wonder if that had something to do with it as they can see it at night if its low enough.

I had read that when going night fishing, full moons are some of the best nights to fish on, because the fish are more active. I can't remember where I had heard that, but I think there is probably a huge difference between a 55 gallon tank and a lake. lol, sorry if that's not helpful, but I thought I might add my two cents in. : ) Have a good day.
