I would say nothing can compete with a 6" Male Haitiensis. A 6" Male Neet would be second IMO

I see a lot of Haitensis on here, but the fact of the matter is, I have never seen one in a community as a full grown adult, so I don't really think you can compare them to fish that we all know to be killers. If anybody has experience with these guys in a community tank as adult fish, I would love to hear about their behavior.

Con defending its nest. Never seen anything do so much damage so fast.

From what I understand Haitiensis aren't community fish. They will try to kill any tankmates and if they can't they will stress out and die. Similarly to beani

Tomocichla sieboldii are up there.

Ya, but I have seen beani's take on other fish, and I know they are mean SOB's. I have never seen a black nasty take on any other fish, and from what I understand they are the only predatory cichlid where they come from. So they have no real competition. Which also makes me think they may not belong in the p4p competition since they really don't have to defend against any other cichlid.
