Hey, this will be a quite out of the ordinary discussion but I assure you it will be quite interesting.
A few years back I owned an albino red-tailed shark who I promptly named goldy; now where I don't usually name fish I had to due to her strange obsession with the little 'gem' ornaments in her tank which she would actually pile up from across the whole tank.
She was however unusually aggresive, even for a red-tail shark which usually get in bad moods over the slightest disturbance.

Infact it got to the point where we had to isolate her, after days of isolation we returned her and she didn't show a sign of aggression, as fit as a fiddle but as calm as a...Buddhist?

That was years ago and she's long gone now - but taking her place was a standard red-tail who's larger than the average red-tail...ALOT larger.
He won't bite but he will ram into other fish and chase them intentionally.
Do you think it would be possible to do the same to him?
 
who knows I doubt there are many red tailed shark trainers out there, al you can do is try lol

however your RTBS sounds great any pics to show us these fish are beautiful. I;ve not long bought a baby one after not keeping one for a few years
 
i am very interested in this! i just put an aggressive opaline gourami in an isolation tank. did you re-try this experiment? if so how did it turn out?
