lol they're wimps that everything picks at.
I have to say a titan trigger. They destroy everything. Just look at the dentition.

exodons are crazy, think people over look them for their size, but ive seen fish 5 to 6 times larger in the same tank with 1 exodon at an LFS and they were in the top corner afraid.

Which lfs was that? Because I live in your area, and I have not seen any exos around here yet.
 
If you screw the weight thing only 2 fish stand out to me as the most aggresive.
The alligator gar
and the Muskellenge
And I guarentee if you starve a muskie and a SH and a Dovii and a Alli Gar all full grown in the same tank and then remove the dividers only one fish will win... the gar.It will end up eating the musky after the snakehead kills the dovii. Even if the snakehead kills the muskie and there is no way in god a 3ft snakehead is going to get a 4ft full grown muskie, the snake head would get powned by the Alligator gar at 7 ft long.

Why should we use full grown animals as a model? Because in real life that is how by some miracle they would meet. fully grown.
 
Convict.
 
You people obviously have to check our the Aussie mangrove jack!!! There is no other fish that's as intelligent and powerful at any stage of life as the mangrove jack (snapper) the fish will convert from salt-fresh no worries. The jaw of the jack is similar to a dogs jaw. People on here are talking about wolf fish and snake heads and fahaka's although this fish a aggressive, they are without doubt toys to a mangrove jack. Look them up.... Best fish I've ever owned!
 
If we are talking about fishes that are most adaptable to enviroment, I would definitely have to bring up the tilapia, snakehead and walking catfish. They pretty much infest most of the waterways in warmer part of Asia and have no problem reproducing.
 
I have to say if it is pound ofr pound i give it to the Convict cichlid they are insanely mean

but the Dovii is also in consideration along with buttikofori

salt water either a damsel(can be so nasty) or an Undulated Trigger
 
the green spotted puffer baby oh yeah they got beaks and **** snails up imagine if it was 1.5 feet long...
the beaks would mutilate a nig
 
What about an arapaima vs a gator gar? That would be amsome! I think the gar would own tho, gator gars arnt quite as big as pimas, but are certinly a lot meaner.
