Never judge a fish's peacefulness or lack of aggression by their behavior at the store. They've been shipped, are stressed, are in tanks that are overstocked with other fish, in an environment with a lot of human activity, etc. Their behavior can and usually does change once they get into a home of their own (theoretically) and start to relax and acclimate. Fish that were timid turn into bullies, fish that got along in the same tank at the store suddenly start having issues, etc.
