Not enough folks have kept Neets. A breeding pair of neets will tear just about anything to shreds. And a giant Neet male is like 5". Female 2.5"...

Beani's are overrated. I've had many specimens. They're pretty nasty when breeding, but again aren't ALL cichlids?

Grammodes on the other hand.... holy sh*t

Hemichromis fasciatus is probably the nastiest pound for pound.
Look at these little juveniles(they get nastier as they age): [video=youtube;uWchee5GvyI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWchee5GvyI[/video] They're already fighting like psychopaths lol vicious little suckers.

Grammodes vs Hemichromis fasciatus would be one interesting battle.

Grammodes primarily kill each other. Hemichormis are African...

Although this thread was made under CA, the OP never stated that. He said "of them all".

I remember coming across a thread, http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...in-dividers-SUCK!-My-beani-got-killed-somehow

There are plenty of videos just to show how chaotic they are.

Look at the lightning speed. Lol, he brushes off the female istlanum. Taking on two, what a beast.

Or this one, where the grammodes absolutely battered this unfortunate managuense.

Another thing, which is some good info.

The higher the temperature of the water, the more active and aggressive fish get. It seems this trick works with grammodes and jack dempsey.

IME only when breeding. A lot of CA cichlids like or used to cooler water.
Not sure about African cichlids though.
