My baby Jag is very nasty to all of my MUCH larger fish, such as my red belly pacu that is about 10 times bigger than him. So I would say managuense aka (jaguar cichlid)
 
If you keep green terror, citrinellus or even oscars alone in small tanks they get very aggressive, normally they can be quite peaceful.

So I would suggest:

1. dovii
2. umbee
3. haitiensis
4. tetracanthus
5. festae
 
i now have 2 mostly white oscars.not so mean.i loveto watch them beg for food..

but i used to have this fish, i know its not really a monster but i had a betta (crackers was his name) that would thrash and threaten, puff up and hit the side of the tank open mouthed at anyone who came into my kitchen.. a little tiny opac( spelling?) he was all white.. tried to give him some large guppies for friends once, they were 2-3 in long and he was only 1.5 in long and he chased them ragged.. so i had to take them out. so Crackers had to live alone... he is still the meanest fish ive ever had. :)
 
meanest think I have ever owned was a firemouth believe it or not...
 
A male salvini defending his female and fry.
 
A breeding pair of Jags, no doubt. They will decimate anyone they're not comfortable with.
