I would say convict.. "if they got bigger than 6" that is" but it's not. Therefore I vote the dovii, big fish ,big teeth, big additud
Second IMO is the Black Nasty (Nandopsis Hatian) never owned one and don't want to, to much nasty in one package

Convicts are just territorial imo. Given enough space they'll live with other fish just fine. I have a female convict in a 125 gallon and she is not aggressive, she just chases away any fish that approaches her hiding spot.

Never had a Dovi or Umbe. But mine was a dinner plate size male black belt with wife and kids

They can be a little aggressive with fish that won't stand their ground but nowhere near most aggressive, at least mine wasn't. O had a jack that would take nothing from of him. The jack ruled the tank
I heard that true green terrors actually live up to their name. Gold saums are generally peaceful, they're more assertive than aggressive imo.
