Anything wild caught. My wild caught oscars would go with anything in the tank guapotes, amphilious species, buttikoferri you name it. But as everyone knows it depends on the personality of the fish. But my opinion for top 3 would definitley be not in order, Emperor, Umbie and Dovii those 3 at full size have the ability to rip a lot of fish to shreads. My buddy had a 15 inch male Umbie that shared and more than held his own in a 200 gallon with a 14 inch male and 10 inch female mated pair doviis.
 
I own or have owned most all of these fish and it all depends on the size of the fish, the individual personality of the fish. if every species mention is under 12" then i would say red devil, grammode. once they past 12" mark the dovii and umbee are neck and neck. they are all magnificent and beautiful predators.
 
well my oscar!........eh forget it.
 
Is this based off of an individual fish, or in general...because i've had a female convict that was just the nastiest fish ive ever owned...She was in a tank with a JD, and a single dovii. The JD and Dovii were almost 2X the size of the con, but it was still her tank.
 
Every Midas I'v owned has been a BADMOFO. Always the dominate one, I have one in a tank by himself, I always have to anticipate getting bit when I'm in there cleaning.
