I have a bit of a problem with my red finned shark. As the title suggests, he's chasing my other fish, especially my dwarfs and yellow lab! Will he calm down eventually or will I have to rehome him? :(
 
OOOh, I remember I had one of them a couple of years ago. He was absolutely GORGEOUS and fine, but he really grew FAST and he sure did like to chase all his other tankmates, especially when they'd get near his "hiding stone." I took him to my aquarium store and let them re-home him with someone with a bigger tank and more expertise. Maybe someone else has more info on who would be compatible with them, but that was my experience. They sure are pretty, though. ;)
 
took mine back to the shop after a year...killed TOOOOO many other fish.
 
You have a lot of territorial fish in your tank. I hate to say it, but there is not much chance the fish will calm down. I'd try re-arranging you tank, but ultimately the shark will become MORE aggressive as it gets older. I'd get another tank and keep it with fish that live in the upper half of the tank.
