My sister has an aggressive female paint...I don't know if it is true aggression or if she just gets into a feeding frenzy...she has chomped down on her tank mate several times and once had him by the neck. She wants all the food for herself. Her issues seem to be around food, otherwise she's fine. Her tank mate is calm and sweet and very timid. My yearling Gus is a snapping fool-when he sees food coming his old jaws start snapping away. I've seen him eye Squirts foot and go after it, thinking it was food, I've seen Squirt do the same. They are such pigs they go for anything they see. Even though they are reptiles, I think they have distinct and different personalities. Squirt(2) has always been very calm and gentle while Gus is more high strung and impulsive. Who knows what goes on in their little reptile minds!
