Just wondering what's the most aggressive fish you've ever had all types of aggression mine was a auratus as far as harassment goes but blunt force and damage would be jack dempsey.

The auratus was the worst as far as harassment goes but the jack dempsey was the worst as far as blunt force and damage goes.

Probably my red devil. At the lfs it had two JDs and a smaller red devil in a corner of the tank for three weeks. The other red devil was completely shredded but survived. I bought the bigger one. It would attack anything that went past its tank. It was 8-9" second would be my 2-3" salvini. It is the boss of my tank. And third would be my 2.5" red terror.

Buenas aires tetras. Those things are evil! They would eat my feeder guppies before my leaf fish could and they also ate crickets. I suspect they killed one of my young angel fish too.
My african lesf fish will devour feeders like its their last chance to eat but ironically they wont harm anything else and nothing hurts them.

I feel for you. My African bumble bee catfish ate over 100 red cherry shrimp while I was on a week long vacation.
