Not really aggressive IME.
You can ask most LFS's to get them for you.

Just got 10 a few days ago. Wish they weren't covered in Ich though. I hope the Salt + Heat will do the trick. Last time i fought Ich, i lost when i tried without salt.

ICH Update
Day 3: I appear to be winning this time. DAT SALT
Day 4: Ich seen on fishes, This i was expecting as it hopefully will be the last iteration of their cycle.
Day 12: All Ich is gone, maintaining temp for a few more days then slowly reducing back down to 72.

Anyone know why my GNT's school when the filter and powerhead are off, but when the current is back on, they kinda just roam around the tank? I love the schooling but i need the current and surface agitation...

I would like to know too. I have this happen with my cardinal tetras, harlequin rasboras, and oto cats when I turn off all of my pumps to do a water change. All of them school most of the time, but not like when the flow is off. This is especially obvious with the oto cats. They never school unless the flow is off.

This will be a security thing. Normally you have the filter and powerhead on, so the fish become accustomed to this and "relax". When you switch it off, the fish sense this, probably "worry" and therefore form their school.
