I hate those dam things.. I have 2 that are about 4 inches long and had to
separate them into 2 tanks. They were eating the root's off my little
sword
plant's runner. they nip at my plants, and boy do they crap alot.. Since
they are separte, there is no more agression, and I'm happy..
Odd. I have SAE's, all full size, (4 inches +) in 4 different tanks, bought
at different times, and have never had any aggression issues. They
occasionally chase each other around, but there's no real heat in the
chasing. Is it possible that you have false SAE's, or flying foxes, which
*do* get aggressive? Just a thought.

I've got two 3" SAEs in a 55 and all they've done is a masterful job on
my black brush algae--the only "aggressive" behavior they've shown is
trying to school with the rainbows (who find the attempts most
disconcerting). Check and make sure the black stripe on the side runs
all the way THROUGH the tail fin. If it stops with the body, you have
the wrong fish.
