i had a 6" con pop a 12" jags eye right out of it's socket. it was nasty and just hanging there. cons are tuff fish. there smaller mouths just mean more pressure per square inch. if you grab someones arm it does not hurt but if yu pinch someones arm it hurts like hell.

Agree 100%. Like I said convict's are small, but man. the only reason all you guy's go for the umbee,dovii,butti's is because of the size! how about you put all those fish, in my tank with my male convict!! you will see who win's. If all the cichlid's were the size of the convict or inch or 2 bigger...you will see who wins!! Convict's are awsome fish but...(grouchy,mean, and small). also, midas are not nearly as strong as a red devil cichlid, they are simalar...but midas tend to give up fight's too fast.
 
Agreed. pound for pound, convicts are the most aggressive.
most aggressive fish i ever had was a sev oddly enough... he was fine until one day when he snapped and almost killed my gouramis. had to get rid of him after that...:irked:
 
Most aggressive fish Ive ever owned was a Managuense had once put 3 oscars with him all 3 were bigger my Jag was only 4-5" at the time and he beat up the 3 oscars one to the point of death in less then 15min. I tossed my oscars in the tank they both kept away from eachother so I left the room ate came back and saw the 3 in a corner and my Jag swimming all over.

Umbee's I hear are mean but what would be able to mess with them they got a major size advantage over other SA/CA cichlids but say you were to ask what is the meanest cichlid in the world would that make the Emperor cichlid the meanest??? They get what 3' long. Chances are the convict would be in most cases pound for pound the meanest cichlid around.
 
IM GONNA SAY HANDS DOWN MY CARBI PIRANHA. it killed all other piranhas and killed a red and white devil and also a 10inch flowerhorn hE was the most AGGERSIVE fish iv ever seen. my carbi is about 16inc now he killed everything when he was about 8inchs. ONE BAD ASS FISH. TOO MANY OTHERS TO NAME THAT WHENT DOWN CAUSE OF HIM. HIS FAVORITE FOOD IS LIVE BIRDS I BUY HIM ONE ONCE A MONTH
 
i would say convits but only when breeding they can be savaage my oscar wont even go near them, spilt them up now because things started getting nasty !!
 
WOW, why would some people vote for pirahna's?? Everyone who own's them know's that they cant even hurt a guppy, unless they are in group's. They get scared so fast even if a gourami swam up to there face!! One of my friend's owned a pirahna with 2 Kribensis cichlids, the pirahna was 3 times the size of them, but, got chased around like crazy!! Oh yeah, by the way CONVICT'S are the meanest!!
