yes, they are aggressive, you may be able to keep one in a 190g community tank depending on what your other stock is...
treat them like any aggressive CA cichlid (trimac/reddevil etc)... very aggressive but in a 190 w/ well planned placement of rocks and such, it could be kept w/ other fish...
but w/ an all FH community, it met get ugly.

when they are little its ok with other fishes from my experience. but once they get big about 5-6 inches then you will see other fishes getting torn in half. they are like piranha's in cichlid class.
Every FH is different I've had several in my community tank, do best when introduced when very small though, seems like if they are put in their place when they are young they arent as aggrissive when they get larger.
also have to know if you keep swaping tank with the fh they get very angry and become more aggressive, ive noticed that because it tore my leaf fishes in half. good thing about is, if the fish gets used to you and you dont punk it around too much, when it grows big it will let you touch him/her or sometimes rub itself against your hand. Not all though,
