Trying to get extremely aggressive hybrid

[Cichlid king]

I know, I know, some of you might not agree with it, but I'm interested in super aggressive cichlids. What are the most aggressive Central American and South American cichlids?

I was thinking of mixing an aggressive male dovii with a female Haitian cichlid. What are some other aggressive cichlids that can hybridize?

WHY?

The dovi would slaughter the haitian. Haitians grow very slowly and tend to come into their aggression. There are plenty of naturally aggressive cichlids. It has a lot to do with the size of the tank and whether or not the fish is raised alone. People often mistake aggression for territorialism. With doges, it would be referred to as "cage brave". Cichlids raised alone simply have a hard time sharing space with others.

WHY?

Not for any negative ideas you might have in mind. I rather aggressive, bold cichlids. I like cichlids which would probably bite your hand if you placed it into the tank, fish that are fearless.

I didn't know dovii's were more aggressive than haitians. As for naturally aggressive cichlids, what do you have in mind?

What kind of mean? Like chase your finger mean, Or kill everything in the tank, Or just a bang up tough guy personality.
Flowerhorns cover all the basis, But there are many CA cichlids with similar aggression and personality. Usually all fish will be different in temperment and wont be big agro monsters until reaching adulthood, 2-3+yrs. There are alot of factors to rule in, But interbreeding random fish for their aggression isnt going to produce what you would like it to. Dont think you can breed 2 fish to make an absolutely fearless killing machine.
