I couldnt believe how well mine fit in my tank.  Like it was meant to be.

Be careful my daughter forced me to get one as well for my 180 tank,  unfortunately it now chases the weakest fish in the tank to the point where the fish only stays up in the corner.  I have removed 3 fish from the tank and put them in with smaller fish to get them colored up again do to this...

Does he have a couple of good places to hide?
Red Tail Sharks are know for aggressive behavior and lack of hiding places is a big trigger for this.
Could also be you got a jerk fish too.

If you look closely, it is very rough around the edges, it antagonizes the other fish constantly and I swear he smells just like a goat !    :P
