Speaking of LMB, I had my LMB eat my entire native collection. Got it at 2", and at 6" it ate the last fish, a 4" perch. You could see the head almost protruding out the backside with the tail still hanging out of it's mouth.
 
the biggest loss for me would be a 6" peacock cichlid that attempted to eat a 2.5" yellow lab. it got stuck in its mouth and i had to pull it out. the yellow died soon after.

i watched a video of a paroon shark eating a similar sized paroon shark, and on the same video a clown knife eaten by a crayfish (yabbie)
 
as for fish eating bigger or other fish he's not suposed too. well i have a 4" blood parrot eat a huge 7" giant dino. also in the same siting he ate 3 other big molly's. recently i had a 7" common pleco eat a 6" or 7" birchir. that was sick. found half the body in the filter. as for anything else. i now own a 5" or 6" needle nose fish. so time will tell what he trys to put in his mouth. so far not much. even feeders
 
ive never really had any monsters but my silvertip shark from 6-12" managed to eat
4x gouramis (2-5")
6x blackskirts
4 mollies (3")

the worst was my 5" big golden gourami, the shark was about 10" at the time
 
I have yet to have anythig eaten. thankfully. but that's what sucks about having the bigger fish b/c if yo don't have a growout tank then you have to try and find other large fish to put in for tankmates that can't get eaten
 
5" jack dempsey swallow a 3" polypterus....like a noodle!
 
16 inch shovelnose ate my 5 inch irredescent shark, 12 inch arrowana (that really pissed me off) and 2 parrot fish about 4 inches. The last parrot did him in and found him floating at the top.
