Also Jaguar Cichlids. So heres my total list...I do think Nandopsis Haitiensis "Black Nasty's" are the most aggressive out of this list...I've heard of a black nasty at 15cm killing two jaguars which were each 23 cm, also killed a red devil that was 25cm which was in the same tank as the jaguars. People in this thread saying jack dempseys, firemouths, oscars, texas cichlids, etc are really stupid. A black nasty would kill all of those and then some...black nasty's are EXTREMELY aggressive and territorial!

Umbriferum
Black Nasty
Dovii
Jaguar
 
...black nasty's are EXTREMELY aggressive and territorial!

Completely agree, haitiensis are very aggressive. It was one of the few CA the lasted with my small paradisefish. When it hit about 10", My B.Nasty's aggression level went through the roof, he was eventually killed by my 5" paradisefish.
 
I have a 6 inch male Convict, with orange on its belly and blue on its fins, beautiful convict, mean as ****. It ripped the eyes out of a 12 inch oscar in 10 minutes after the lights went off, I knew because I heard a large splash and wham, there was my oscar dead as a door knob.

The most agressive cichlid I've ever seen was a ~28 inch Dovii, this MFK guy has videos of it all over youtube, and the thing is just nasty.

That convict...is female...
 
Mine so far would be:

Red Devil, Hes only about 5.5-6" and theres not many Cichlids hes scared off no matter what size they are.

Male Dovii.

Male Polleni.

Also My Male Umbee whos around 6" looks like hes going to be abit of a beast.

Thanks Darren.
 
jag! i had one tht would attack and kill almost anything i tried putting in with him! the only thing he didnt kill was my pleco whos still alive and healthy!
 
I have oscars, dempseys, angels, jaguars, firemouth, and convicts. My one Oscar is extremely aggressive and the only tankmate it will stand is an asian redtail cat. My other oscar has several various tankmates and gets along fine. But my convicts are by far the most aggressive esp. when they have a brood.
