I can honestly say that My WC Macro Kipili Male was alot worse than the BG you saw in that video. From the stories and first hand experiences.
Murdock will tell you about the Kipili as I got the Male from him, and he has overstocked tanks.

I've kept WC macro kpilis. They are not that bad....

I've even bred from a single pair in a 125g.

Here's my view. Intentionally putting a weaker fish in a tank with a much more aggressive fish is ridiculous. I used to raise and breed pit bulls, and I was good at it. I know people who fight them for more money than a colony of the rarest petros cost. The technique to get them trained to kill was to starve them to make them hungrier and lighter on their feet. I know when Im hungry, I get upset easier. They would release the pit bull on a helpless goat or lamb and let them taste the blood and reward them with a bloody piece of raw meat. Understocking is ignorance indeed, but to KNOW what a fish or animal is capable of and to actually do things to intentionally make the fish become more aggressive is inexcusable. To understock a tank doesn't mean that it's certain that the fish will kill each other. To put a gazelle in front of a starving and capable lion is sure death for the gazelle. Just my opinion.

You have just described just about everyone's tank or setting on this forum and probably the majority in this hobby.

The Macro I took from Murdock was a bonefied killer.
IMHO It all depends on the fish itself just like humans, dogs, etc...
They can be all docile but there is always that one that defeats all odds and its nature is to "kill".
However, Kipilis (EDIT: I meant Macros)nature are indeed agreesive, just like Helembe, Longola, BG, etc. And those are different variants.
Now my WC Male eradicated all of the males and females Murdock had. ALL then started to kill off other Petros.
When I got him, he killed within days, TX Bulu Points, Blue Dolphins and tried to knok off the Red Moiliros and the Kenyii Cichlid that were left. Moliros survived due to a rescuer named Sunny.

Macros in variant are aggressive. LOL Murdock will tell you the Horros the Male Kipili has left behind. The only Line left of the Kipili is the ones I have. And the 2 males I have are indeed mean SOB's just like daddy was.

It all depends on the fish itself, however the variant also must be accounted as far as aggressive tendencies.

Just my experience of my Beloved and Prized family member Kipili I had.

Since this type of behavior is justified, we should all overstock our tanks with petros and tetras and expect since it's "appropriately" stocked that all fish will survive. Gimme a break
