That is with large schools or piranhas. a single piranha would be less aggressive. but no one is really right beacause it depends on the indevidiel fish.Does not matter who is more aggressive. If any cichlid tries to lock jaw with a piranha, said fish will be missing it's lips and probably a good part of its face. It's like locking a jaw with a set of razorblades...
In the wild, cichlids defend themselves against Ps by putting their back tail into the ground with their heads up, to avoid getting their fins being bitten off... Once their fins are gone, the fish would be rendered helpless and then would be a snack for the piranha. The cichlid won't try to lock jaws with the piranha, but instead try to protect itself from getting bit. Maybe throw some body bites to chase the piranha away...
Imagine seriously locking jaws with this:

A cichlid could go at it all day chasing around a piranha, and it will only take a single bite from the piranha to seriously injure and likely kill the cichlid.

I think that the jag would use a different stragady of fighting once it was bitten(If it is bitten because single RBs are really mellow). But a lot of it really depends on the individual fish.
So if say a large male aggressive JAG were to lip lock or jaw lock a Piranha what would happen? I know that Piranha have teeth like right there in their mouths so what would turn out? Would it just be the p tearing right throught the JAG or maybe not? Just wondering as I've never seen anything about any cichlids jaw locking and p's. Btw the p would be a large red belly. So what would turn out? A bloody jag or a messed up p? If anyone has any pics of any p's jaw locking cichlids please post I wanna see this. Also wondering how a jaw lock would work as the Piranha has a basically straight head while most cichlids have a curved like body

I bet Chuck Norris could do it...If you don't believe me, try it yourself. I don't care who is more aggressive, if you try to bite a razor sharp blade, you will get cut. No matter who you are. Bottom line.
