I think aimara's aggression is exaggerated or urban legend. I have seen aimara charging at food and attacking water hose when provoked. But how many of us have personal experience with its aggression when housed with other aggressive fish? Most of the time it's housed by itself but is it due to aggression or price?
which is most aggressive characin?

I am speaking from expereince and not what is written or said about things..I see many photos about an Armatus living with other fishes peacefully..And I see comments that an Armatus got harrased by P-Bass...
brycons feed on scales.
thats not aggression in my opinion.

Yea right! When I ended up with a lot of dead fishes by my Brycons, I will call it aggression and not scale eating..Since some of my fishes where torn in half..

im pretty sure theyre housed by themselves because of pure aggression.

exactly, aimaras are lethal. think how aggro a hoplias malabaricus is, then triple its overall size and youve got one serious fish. i have seen a 36" one posted on another forum, the fella who owns it wears chain mail gloves to do tank cleaning, and he needs them coz he gets attacked every time
imo, nothing freshwater can **** with aimara.....even micropeltes couldnt touch one imo
