I know thwe general consensus is that the ultimate monsterfish is the arapaima, even though there are many bigger or meaner fish. SA/CA cichlids are more monsterfish than the meaner riftlake cichlids, so what makes a fish a monsterfish? A tiger barb with a poor attitude? A 1' comet goldfish?

I believe it's whatever fish you have a monster obsession or love for and cannot go w/o having one in your tank.
Has to have a little bit of badass in there too.

Has anyone how seen how vicious goldfish are too fingers?
 
To me an objective definition would be anything that's either big, predatory or aggressive, but in reality MFK is a lifestyle ;)

Only if there is food or sweat on them. Goldfish don't know the meaning of aggression.

But, you should see how people obsess over swordtails and guppies......
