only b/c i wouldn't class them as a fish that is aggressive only protecting one area. They should probably be left under aggressive as they are and it wouldn't really matter on territory.

They do hold territories in the wild. We just don't have the surface area for them in most aquariums.

They are territorial because they only attack members of the same species or species that may be mistaken as such. Aggresive would mean they attack anything regardless of the species.

Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
