When I got to the store they were just about to move him to his own tank, I guess he was killing the red devils and hoarding the food. Are the normally this bullish ? He displays and attacks the glass when I check on him.

No, they are usually fairly peaceful. How much smaller are the Red Devil juvies?? He probably is attacking the glass because he sees his reflection in it when you stand in front of the tank.

The red devils were about a half inch longer, he only attacks the glass when I get close the rest if the time he just swims around.

The Red Devils are ½" longer than the apisto?? That must be the most aggressive apisto in existence.

He does seem to be the devil incarnate, we had a goldfish survive and seemingly pick up aggressive/carnivorous habits from the green and red terrors so maybe this guy picked up a few bad habits too. Either way he is getting his own tank just in case.
