True... my Snakehead bit my fully grown oscar in half.:WHOA:

But snake heads have smaller teeth VS the Wolf Fish with massive and thick fang like teeth.

It would be awwwwsome if the Wolf fish had the saber tooth Payara's fangs!!!!:eek::eek::eek:

snakeheads have much sharper teeth,which is why they can make clean cuts.
wolffish tend to grab the fish and shake.
 
any of u ever seen asian red tail cats?

my friends bro had 1 tht was about 8" - 9" in with four 14" oscars and it killed all of them

they wouldnt fit in its mouth so it just took chunks, nasty things they are with real nasty teeth. its gotta be a contender

i nearly bought it a couple of days later :D

Exodon paradoxus (saw toothed tetra, bucktooth tetra) for the win!!!

When you're talking pound for pound, nothing else even comes close. These guys are already killing tankmates @ 1" or less. Put your favorite predator in there at the same size and my money is on the exo's

one exodon at 1 inch VS any aggressive cichlid at the same size.
exodon would definitely lose simply because THEY ARE SCHOOLING FISH and are only aggressive when they school.
its like putting one RBP in a tank alone.
 
snakeheads!

wrong. but thanks for playing.

exodons may be schooling fish, but are more aggressive in smaller numbers. a shoal will definitely do more damage then a single fish, but that doesnt mean one by itself is harmless. were not talking about guppies here. its basically a tiny piranha

at 1", a cichlid id still considered fry, and is of absolutely no threat to the exodon. i would gladly put a 1" exodon against a 1" dovii anyday. the dovii would be missing its eyes and scales by lunch.

nono...they are more aggressive towards EACH OTHER in smaller numbers.
a SINGLE exodon is skittish and freaked out.
if you had a mature 3 inch exodon and a mature,for example,flower horn,shrinked down to 3 inches,then an exodon is basically dead...
you cant compare baby to mature or juvi fish.it aint fair.
