Well, a lot of darker blue or green centrals tend to be a little dark over that... Like a green terror. Are you looking for a more common fish or something a more "rare?"
Something common that comes to mind would be a Midas or red devil.

the rareity of the fish doesnt matter to much, im lookin for color, and aggresiveness mainly (preferabley will be able to eat live food at some point)
 
snakeheads will literally rip anything apart .
 
I've never kept a snakehead because they're illegal in the US. I know they're aggressive and will eat live food.

Live food really isn't the best for fish, better if you just feed them as occasional "treats" than a staple.

If you want an owner responsive fish with good colors that is aggressive, I'd still go for a central American Cichlid. Dovii get really big, but there are a lot of other fish that fit the bill. Do you like the shape of dovii? There are some smaller Parachromis species like freddies.

oh nevermind about the snakehead then, but i really like dovii and jaguar also
 
Jaguar would be a nice choice for aggression that could live his whole life in a 100 gallon tank. A Freddy could also be a nice pick if you can find one that is more outgoing. In my experience with Freddies, they seem to want to hide more than glass bang, but are mean. Red Devils are pretty aggresive and can also live your tank for life. Sorry for the long post, just wanted to provide some options for the size of tank you have. If you want a challenge, get a Beani and if he makes it, he will be a monster and greet you face to face. I have a couple around 4-5" and they are always waiting for me.
 
For this sized tank i would go for a male midas they look nice and are glassbangers they are very owner responsive.... Male jaguars are also nice but they are not as owner responsive as a midas.....
 
I agree that a male red devil or midas fits your bill nicely. They are quite aggressive and responsive and a nice orange one would stand out well in the black setup
