He probably claimed the area as his nest. He wants to breed. Some tilapia are more agressive than the rest, and yes, I've had super aggressive ones kill a fish or two. Doubt he'd kill them all though. I usually make an early meal of the super aggressive ones. If, he's big enough. If not, stick him by himself for a while, like a few days. Usually chills them out for a bit.
