Please help me, as i dont know the type of this fish.
its very aggressive and it even attacks fish that have a size advantage over it( OSCARS, GREEN TERROR, PARROT CICHLID).

Definitely a butti. It'll only get meaner as it grows. How big is it and how big is its tank?

Good choice probably. I look at them every time I go into the LFS, nice looking fish but I don't want to devote a whole tank to one.
