In a small 20 gallon long I had like 7 different species of darters and I found the most aggressive strangely enough to be large Greenside darters. I saw one pick up a fantail darter by the head and almost smash his head on a rock. The fantail was small so the greenside could almost fit its head in its mouth. Besides that, I've got an aggressive female Bluebreast Darter. She fights with the male Bluebreast, male Rainbows, Blackside Darters, you name it, she wants to throw down.
Yeah, in my limited experience with greensides they're not shy fish. Even big logperch are pretty laid back.

I don't have much darter experience, but I had a large blackbanded darter that ate three flagfin shiners. I also have a small blackbanded that terrorized a blackspotted topminnow, but left all the other fish alone.

I just caught this post. I just had 2 sailfin shiners disappear in my tank and the only large fish in there are a big blackside darter and a logperch. I've kept baby darters in there even from 1/2" and never had problems. Since that went ok I never thought twice about putting smaller shiners in. That may solve the magic trick.
