When he was excited(often) he would turn an evil whitish color. I admit, he won't have a chance against a puffer beak, but, cichlid against cichlid, ounce for ounce, I stick with this guy.

Jimmy22 Fish Addict Posts: 582 Votes: 0 Registered: 03-Jun-2003	Fahaka puffer please Id say the most aggressive is the Affrican Pike Charcin would rip it to shreds.even a red tail cat fish cant stand up to its power. The most aggressive cichlid however i believe is the flowerhorn or JD

I say overall king is either the umbee or dovii. Jason

Tetra Fan Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004	hmmm....i think the green terror is the meanist. My lfs had one and it grew fast and killed all the other fish in the tank including a red devil [span class="edited"][Edited by tetra_fan1212 2004-04-27 20:04][/span]

Jason_R_S Moderator Posts: 2811 Kudos: 2421 Votes: 391 Registered: 18-Apr-2001	Jack dempseys are wimps compared to most guapotes and other more highly aggressive species such as: N. haitiensis (Black Nasty) N. beani (Green Guapote) N. tetracanthus (Cuban Cichlid) P. dovii (Wolf Cichlid) P. managuense (Jaguar) P. motaguense (Red Tiger) C. umbriferum (Blue Freckled Monster) A. festae (Red Terror) A. zaliosum (3rd species of the "Red Devil Complex" A. citrinellum (Midas) A. labiatum (Red Devil) A. trimaculatum (Trimac or 3-Spot Cichlid) V. argentea (Argentean Cichlid--I've read recently that these and some other Vieja species can be down right nasty) Jason

Jason_R_S Moderator Posts: 2811 Kudos: 2421 Votes: 391 Registered: 18-Apr-2001	there are very few, if any, fish that could stand up to a Fahaka or Arrowhead puffer. I'd say the fahaka is worse only because it grows to ~18" whereas the arrowhead only grows to ~6". However, seeing as this is in Cichlid Central, it's really hard to say what is the meanest. This usually depends on the personality of the individual fish, but I'd have to say top dog would probably be the Wolf Cichlid--P. dovii. Jason
