Speaking of Oscar, my black / red oscar was big, I thought it was impossible for my Giant Snakeheads to eat it. But one morning all I saw were my two Giant Snakeheads swimming as if the Oscar was never put there, the Oscar was nowhere to be seen. I guess one took half and the other took the rest, like I have seen them doing, the alligator death roll.
Pound for Pound toughest fish?

What about African Tiger Fish? The one I had was fast as hell and had huge teeth. My last ATF bit a similar sized Pike Cichlid nearly in half.
An 8 or 9 inch Dovii is just a baby. We should compare full grown adults to be more fair. I can't see any eqaul size fish taking out a 2 foot Dovii in open water.
what about a pike cichlid? I've never seen a fully grown pike, but I know they're very agressive, at least mine is. He's about 6", and will attack anything that doesn't live in the tank with him. For whatever reason though the fish he's grown with he scraps with, but doesn't kill??? What's up with that?
yeah, a fully grown dovii is a force to be reckoned with. at 2ft youd have one serious threat on your hands. not much other than a shark or something that could outright swallow it would have fun trying to scrap one. in my opinion the triggers are the baddest assssss fish we have around as far as pound for pound go. a trigger guarding its nest will take on sharks, divers, etc.. i have been bitten by a nice sized fuscus trigger that took the tip of my finger clean off. they have jaws with unreal strength. i have seen them bite right through whole mussels that i couldnt have crushed with my hands. i owned a undulated trigger for about 4 years and i dont care what you would have thrown in HIS tank or WHOS tank you threw him in, he would literally eat them eye balls first. then from there it would be the stomach and gill area. these fish are brutal. not all triggers are that mean. all have the ability to do damage, but in my opinion the titan trigger, queen trigger, undulated trigger and fuscus trigger would hands down RUIN any of the fish we are talking about in here. i mean most reach close to 2 ft and all mentioned can break through rock at less than half that size. armor, teeth, aggression. watch out, they are the true KINGS!!!!!
not really. maybe as far as dentition goes. triggers are way more agile and outright aggressive than any puffers i have ever encountered, not too mention their bodies are tough as leather. i mentioned dovii for freshwater, but wouldnt wanna tangle with any of the snakeheads or bowfins or the asian redtail cat. i just said triggers because id seen them mentioned in previous posts.
