If you want to see carnage get a Parachromis Dovii (the Wolf Cichild). Smart ill-tempered and huge the male is 30" and pure evil. Nasty teeth areal one fish only tank. I had a close relative (the jaguar cichlid) and it had a nasty habit of biting the heads clean off the feeder and the Dovii is bigger. Adult would kill a school of pireaha in a week. The KING hands down. |

The most agressive freshwater fish in the world is the Goliath Tiger fish. You can get them, but be careful. Mine attacked my hand one day while i was doing tank maint. and It really shreaded my hand. You want agressive, thats your fish. | |

Pound for pound is a different story...anybody had a Red Jewel Cichlid? They are not very big, 4-5", I had one years ago and it took on an Oscar about twice his size and won. They are actually quite beautiful too.

Melanochromis Chipokae...
You don't need a large tank (30-55 should do) and to keep him aggressive enough, get 2-3 females....He's a killing machine. | |

A well stocked cichlid tank can rival the color scheme of many saltwater tanks. Not the intended subject, but thought I would add my two cents. | |

I just got rid of my 6-7" Black Piranha to start my saltwater tank. Piranhas are cool, but not very active unless you get lucky. A good forum to learn about piranhas and other agressive fish is www.piranha-fury.com I actually found this forum through them. | |
