  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would say if you can, an arapima, but they would be hard to find.

Very bad suggestion. A arapima will out grow and eat anything it can fit in its mouth. Also its not a cichlid.

I would go with dovii festae true red devil Large Pikes.

Then you would have not understood either why girls most often go for the aggressive boys.:) Anyway you don't make a suggest?

You, my friend, have issues.....
 
Meanest cichlid not from the americas from what I understand. B microlepsis from Lake Tanganyika. Also known for being the largest cichlid.

Emperror cichlid. I haven't seen a lot guys owning that fish. May be too much aggressive or grows faster into its maximum size.
 
I'd love a huge tank with a single male Dovii or a breeding pair with a colony of Neets and/or convicts thriving amongst the rocky outcrops. Neets are pound for pound the most aggressive baddest cichlids and would easy evade and live in a massive tank with an adult Dovii... Convicts are much the same... extremely good at surviving in with much larger fish :)

From my experience I think male convicts can cope with other aggressive cichlids sometimes and specially at breeding time they might even chase bigger ones away. But females along wouldn't have a chance to survive among aggressive cichlids. Longtime before my old jaguar killed a 5" male convict and the oscars and others that i'm having now had killed a my female convict recently who had managed to go through the divider. Anyway I had kept convicts even with carps without any probs.
Btw how big neets would grow?
