mine would be my 6" salvini. he killed 2 11"+ oscars and shredded the fins on a 9" umbee, bit the eyes out of a 8" jack and killed a 15" black shark. none of these fish were mine, they were my friends. thats the reason i have him now. he now shares a 54 gallon with 6 3" convicts, 3 7" pictus some 6" royal acaras and is totally fine. in my opinion tho, dovii gets the title
 
In my experience, definitely Flowerhorns and Viajas/Paratheraps.
My Oscars and Jags are pussycats compared to these!

I've owned alot of cichlids, oscars, convicts, and more. The fish that i've had that was pound for pound the most aggressive fish i've ever had was a small mouth bass. She would bullie a large mouth twice her size, blue gills, channel cats, bull heads, and would eat any cichlids half her size. She would still go after them with a divider!!! and doviis she laughed at!!! Lunch!!

Yeah, I made the mistake of putting a smallmouth bass in with my cichlids about 15 years ago. "Smallmouth", not an accuarate name, they can eat some pretty sizeable fish. Ate some of my cichlids, including a breeding pair of convicts that kept chasing him. Guess he got tired of getting bit and turned around and ate them. Problem solved from his point of view.
 
Tbh and I'm going to get flanged I know lol but dwarf red jewels. I have a breeding pair whom the male is 2.5" and the female is 1.75" and they back down my 6" salvini and my sev pair who are equal size to my salvini. Meanest fish I've ever owned.
 
The meanest fish I have ever owned would have to be a convict cichlid. He used to take on 2 firemouths, 1 other convict and 2 green terrors by himself.
