Who's the #2 most aggressive SA/CA Cichlade
- Thread starter Otherone
- Start date
i say in this is THE one and only TRUE order for aggressive fish. any other list or thread is just subjective. but this list below is truly based off an extensive and careful study that took many years to complete and is by no means based off of anything other than scientific methods:
- angelfish
- discus
- apistos
seriously, is there really a point in asking what the number 2 is? i mean come on...

number 2 i'd have to say a citrinellus or labiatus just from experience.
dovii at a gigantic size, but my midas once it hit like 7 or 8 inches, i couldn't keep him with any other fish anymore.
umbee is probably the meanest i have ever seen.
i had a couple at 1" and grew to around 4" and there wasn't a day i had them where they weren't trying to kill all the other fish bigger than them!

First and foremost define aggressive
1. characterized by or tending toward unprovoked offensives, attacks, invasions, or the like; militantly forward or menacing; 2. making an all-out effort to win or succeed; competitive; 3. vigorously energetic, esp. in the use of initiative and forcefulness; 4. boldly assertive and forward; pushy
Using that, aggressive does not mean tough it has to do with evaluating attitude
So adult size should not be considered nor should how tough a fish is Only the tendency to make unprovoked attacks and other such behavior
Wild caught specimen should only be considered as many generations of aquarium breeding removes the benefits that natural selection / survival of the fittest has to offer which will alter the evaluations of more common (to aquaria) species
But regardless of all the scientific questions we ask or angles we consider the true answer will always be it varies per individual specimen amongst many different species and anything after that is spinning your own wheels with no benefit other than misleading yourself and others

This is a question that you'll never get everyone to agree on.
nope...because it's all subjective...each fish has its own personality...there's no way to get a true answer

but the 5 star general would be left out of a list of SA/CA aggressive cichlids since they're from Africa

I usually sit around in my spare time wondering what the 24th most aggressive cichlid is.
