But I don't think it's aggression is near to the ones in the list.
 
Obviously didn't lol. IMO you could have a 8"Oscar an introduce another cichlid of the same size or even larger, an the o could kill it not because its the most aggressive cichlid just because another fish has intruded in its domain.

Me too think so about oscars. Specially oscars would do fine with other highly aggressive cichlids if there are a few of oscars who work as a single unit when it comes to a fight with other types. I've bunch of black oscars and they basically dominate the tank where flowerhorns,buttis, and redparrots in. But there are times they get beaten also.
 
Oscars do fine as long as they stay established as top dog in the tank and can use their size to bully other fish. The problem I see is when the Oscar tops out at 12" and a Trimac or Red Devil hit 14+, and have that nasty Amphilophus attitude, it's over. Oscars are brutes but compared to a fish like you have on your list, they fall short of the mark...by a longshot. Imagine what an 18" territorial pissed off male umbee would do to a 12" Oscar. It wouldn't be pretty.
And Prashan, Black Belts might surprise you. They can be very aggressive and get some serious size in the right conditions. I'm not sure I would dismiss them so easily. Of course a lot of it will come down to the individual but read up on them, some owners have some highly aggressive BBs.
