Aggressvie red tail shark

This sounds odd but I have a red tail that absolutely hates 1! fish. A poor little ram. I have 3 but it hunts down just the one, even passing by the other rams til it finds it. Im thinking the stress is going to kill it.

Not surprising, red tails are aggressive particularly to bottom dwellers like rams. How big is your tank?

55with 6 bottom dwellers (3 rams 3 corys). He leaves 5 of them alone just goes for the one. Also have a few mollys a few gouramis. im wondering if he will just pick another one after he chases this one to death. Its pretty funny he swims up to the other 2 rams looks them over to determines they arent the one then moves along till he finds him.

Yep ... sounds about right for a RTS. Very territorially aggressive and relentless when it's got a victim in mind. Not unusual for it to pick on one fish, or one type. My RTS only chased my TigerBarbs at first ... despite other barbs in the tank. Then about a year later it started chasing my BlackRuby Barbs as well. Soooo ... it may just be a matter of time before the others feel its wrath.
