most aggressive centrel or south american chiclid for 50 gallon tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hoplias aimara

First to the above poster.. Fail

Second there are few fish as nasty as neets(Neetrolopus Nematopus). They are not very colorful but they are mean as sin... So I hear.
 
The most aggressive cichlids I would suggest for a 50 would be a pair of large convects. The key words here are the most aggressive, you'll get some off the wall suggestions but you wouln't find a more agggressive cichlid suitable for a 50 gallon thank than a convect.

Yes I could see neets also.
 
Hi, welcome to mfk! If you want something colorful, active and super aggressive for a 50, try Salvini. After a long time keeping lots of aggressive fish I just got my first ones and they're crazy. Mine are small but raise hell with fish several times their size. Salvini!
 
I agree with the above suggestions of Salvini and Convict. Personally, I'd go Salvini if it came down to the two.

As far as something "big", a 50 gal tank really isn't suitable for any of the larger cichlids.
 
Pound for pound i would say go with the "mini Dovii" the Grammode,these fish are killers and i believe that they can live in a 55gal tank.Plus they look just like a Dovii.
