It's not that he dislikes you, per se. He's "showing off." And actually means he's healthy in most cases. His tank is his territory, and when you approach it, he's going to remind you. He may eventually stop doing this as much as he becomes more familiar with you. (From experience)

yeah my new CT is very laid back too, he hasn't done that to me once yet. On the other hand my VT is soooo aggressive and when I first got him he flared at me all the time.
