What kind of fish is this?!?!? (Pictures included)
Hey everyone, I have an unidentified FW fish on my hands, and he’s been causing me a lot of trouble. I got a 190 gallon SW setup from a friend who needed to get rid of it. The tank was used as a FW setup, and had not been taken very good care of. In the bottom of the tank I found this but-ugly fish that they had missed when they got rid of their other fish. I kept him in a 10 gallon quarantine for a few months, during which he killed off our two remaining jewel cichlid babies that were too small to sell. Two days ago, I moved him into my 125 gal tank, which was sparsely populated with a medium pleco, a ropefish, a 5 inch Columbian shark, and a small sindondis multiplacatus and harlequin catfish (I’m sure I spelled those wrong lol). Within less than 48 hours, I had to move him back to the 10 gal because he attacked my ropefish, to the point that he may not survive. However, I had filled the 10 gallon with tadpoles I found in a bin outside, so now if I ever want to move him in with other fish I’ll have to quarantine him again. Hopefully, if I can identify this fish, I can figure out what to do with him. Not surprisingly, many of the tadpoles are already missing chunks out of their tails. If he didn’t need to be quarantined again due to his emergency evacuation out of the 125 gal, I would stick him in with my African cichlids and see how he likes being picked on! What the heck is he, and what should I do?
sorry, the pictures are very fuzzy, but he’s a fast little guy!

He’s about 3 inches long, brown with a little red by his fins, has a small mouth with short wiskers around it, he hides almost constantly.
