In your opinion, what fish are straight up killers, mustn't be kept in community tank at all? Hoplias Aimara? Big male Dovii? Aba Aba knife fish? Channa Micropeltes? Jardini? Flowerhorn? Or any other options?
What fish are straight up killers?

Buttikoferi cichlids. Easily take down large aggressive cichlids like Red devils, Midas cichlids, Jaguar cichlids, etc.
Depends. I had one and grew it out with two Red Devils/Midas cichlids, an RTC, and a Pacu. It never bothered any of them and lived peacefully for about 6 to 7 months. But one day, I added my 10-inch walking catfish, and it ripped it apart. It didn’t tolerate any new fish in its established territory, especially similarly shaped ones, and it also attacked my gar, which I had to return. Their aggression definitely increases with size, and I wouldn’t recommend keeping them with other fish, as they can be unpredictable
This was mine. Measured about 16 inches when i sold it
I've only kept cichlids in my 20+ years and i would have to say my female red terror she has killed 8 other fish but when i do WC or maintenance on the tank she runs and hides so very fish aggressive but not territorial where my Midas is just the opposite shes the tank boss but when i do WC he tags me every time
Haha, they said cichlids are one of the most intelligent and each individual has different personalities, and that's definitely true.
hate to say the obvious, but exodons are at the top of my list. meanest little bastards i've ever seen
