My tap water stood for about 4 or 5 days. PH on the established tank is about a neutral 7 or 7.1

You've got quite a variety of omnivorous fish. Your fish are pretty large, and an unwary baby guppy could get eaten up quickly. At what size do you take the risk and add it to the aquarium Well, that's hard to say, because I haven't even released it into the aquarium yet! I keep my sole baby...

My CAE is somewhat tame, only about three inches long. Stays relatively quiet until any of my 10 or so Flying foxes comes near it, in which case the CAE chases them away with great tenacity. never seen such bizzare behavior though.

nice guess, but my pH of the tap water here is naturally at about an 6.8-7.0 Hmm, i wonder what could be the problem..
