They can certainly be "mean" I know (pre attack) that Maximus (BIG G.graphurus male) had a mean streak from when I went to pick him up from the seller, when he was placed in the flimsy plastic container used to transport him from sellers tank to my tank, he would smash the sides, whilst I was talking with the seller, he placed the container down ontop of the brace for one of his tanks.

3 hits and we were starting to S*** ourselves cause the sound of him hitting the glass beneath was getting sharper and sharper/pitched I have no doubt that if we left him on there long enough he'd of shattered the glass brace in the center of the tank...
