60 gallon freshwater aggresive

I agree with Mduros on this one. Your best bet would be to get rid of the other fish and make the tank a brackishpuffer tank. They can handle the hex setup better than the others I think. Please don't wait until the bala and the pleco's are too big to rehome them. This will cause them to become stunted and will shorten their lifespan substantially. Rehome them while they are still small and this will prevent them from having future problems.

No can do Mary, now that this fish has been exposed to an aquarium habitat it cannot be re-released into the wild without risking the ecosystem into which it is released (introduction of disease). If a separate tank cannot be set up for the fish it would have to be destroyed. Reintroducing the fish into the wild would be illegal in most areas as well.

Thanks graphic. Makes alot of sense when you think about it. I once was given a painted turtle that a friend had found in the middle of a chicago highway. It did not belong here and was obviously someone's released or lost "pet." Anyway, the local herpetological society was more than happy to identify what part of the country it came from and got it from me after a few months as a member was taking a trip and could release it back to where it belongs... But turtles aren't fish, so thanks for correcting me on that. You're absolutely right!
Take care,
Mary.
