A convict or mosquito fish could not beat a tiger fish in a fight.

what? This thread is about most aggressive fish.....mosquitofish and convict cichlid are highly aggressive fish for their size.

gold occellatus are some of the nastiest fish in the world. Pound for pound they r tough to beat.
If the contest is about what fish can eat what fish than its diff. The fish with th biggest mouth wins!

Good point, ounce for ounce convicts are up there in the top 10

True, a peacock bass could eat anything, a piranha even but piranhas are 10x meaner. I guess I was basing my list on which one could win in a fight.

Convicts are not in the top 10 most aggressive freshwater fish, even at their size. Festae, green terror, red devil, jags, buttikos, dovii, etc are all cichlids that even at a small size could kick a convict in the butt.

Convict are probably in the top 20 or 30 but not top 10.

Snake heads are way more aggressive than cichlids IMO

I've seen a 4" male convict forced larger cichlids as well as other large fishes move to the corner and take over 3/4 space of tank.
