ok i know these threads are kiddish and immature but we all like teeth and these threads can be fun to hear everyones personal thoughts on the subject, also it is not like we are going to ever try it and ever find out for real on purpose.
Have to be a little curious. I do not have much experience at all with keeping the serious monster fish. We get them in at the store. BAGGING them is the biggest pain cause they bite right through the bags. Cleaning their tanks have to be really careful for some i have to wear coral gloves. SALT water are always worse the dragon wrasse looks like a vampire and took the eyes out of a lionfish. Big fangs and i HATE when i have to water change his tank he does not attack but hes not afraid of me so i don't know what hes thinking and his bite would hurt lol

Was just curious though out of fresh water only or brackish maybe these fish if we had a 500 gallon or so who would be the last fish standing? first to go? what order? just curious? Okay here is the funny thing our stores honeycomb moray eel died. we sold our giant barrracuda pair. So our display tank not sure how many thousand gallons is empty. We are not sure what to put in there i told them giant octopus would be amazing but i doubht they will pay for that. I was gonna suggest a predator tank all teeth? doubt they will go for it. They are thinking black tip reef shark i think but not sure. But just curious on these guys

An adult fahaka puffer
an adult, 2 foot hoplias malabaricus
2 foot giant snakehead
a 2 foot goliath tiger fish
2 foot odo
2 foot thick G TILE moray eel
3 foot asian red tail catfish
3 foot catfish starts with a W supose to be the most aggressive of all catfish?
 
My vote is a 2ft long fahaka puffer. You can find you tube videos of puffers biting through metal cans and there is at least one report of salt puffer (18") biting a divers finger off inside his wetsuit, the wetsuit was fine though, lol. Plus puffers are pretty toxic. And I guess they can puff too. Haha.
 
Probably depends on the respective sizes. If I remember correctly the largest octopus ever collected was around 30ft and 600lb, so that is pretty big, lol. A 12" octopus looks pretty tiny compared to a 12" fish.

EDIT: I can only find record of a 156lb octopus, but still have to keep the size in context.
 
it was a porupine puffer and octopus was just a lil bigger maybe why it lost

i forgot to add in black pirana i know they have killed snakheads by ripping off their jaws i have not heard of a pirana kill a wolffish same size

even red belly on their own can turn into killers when they get use to killing on their own
 
Golden Dorado even though I would consider anything over 12" large and anything over 18" XL. Medium in this trade is probably 6-11", small less than 6", but going by your formula.....
