Rate these fish on level of aggression.

All will be agressive espicially depending on the tank size, in a 1000 gallon tank (Toledo zoo) I saw a breeding pair of Dovi in a community tank that kept themselves in a corner with fry but were not crazy aggressive but the tank was 1000 gallons. In a smaller 180 or whatever differant story. Dovi have large teeth so that helps to keep them as the top candidate. You take a fish out of a big lake and put him in a glass box and he will be aggressive because in the wild the other fish just swim away or avoid the agressor.
Haha.. funny how this goes back and forth. But it seems dovii and umbee are consistently up there.
well i guess we have to look at it from a relative perspective. lets say all of these fish are 6inches (because they all reach that length) which are the most aggressive. That is potentially how we should approach the topic.
my umbee at ten inches dug under the divider through 1" gravel and killed his female and rams the gllass so hard when i get to close im scared hes gonna hurt himself and hes solo in a 8'X30" so its not cause hes in a tiny tank. cant wait till hes 18"+
