It depends too often on indivual fish's personality to make any certain answer. I've known people that kept RD that were pansies, subordinate to severums, and people that had maniacal keyhole cichlids.
Why isn't goldfish on there? You should see mine tear into a shrimp. They're like underwater pitbulls. They even shake their heads all over the place like them. They're ferocious!
that is a silly list of aggresive fish almost all if not all of those fish are just feeding not being aggresive. An oscar swallowing 2 dozen goldfish doesn't make it aggresive IMO.
havent you had enough of your polls why dont you just start a discusion it would be easier since you dont list any fish i would chose
Define aggressive, do you mean among themselves, tank bullies, fish killers?
The most homicidal fish I ever owned was a 6" Phago loricatus (used to be maculatus), as you can see it is pencil thin. it killed about 30 guppies in about 10 minutes, it only ate a couple of them, the first night I had it it ripped up a healthy 8-9" common pleco so bad I had to whack it, the Phago had blinded it, sliced off all it's fins and tail, and slashed open it's abdomen badly enough tha you could see intestines. I don't know if it was typical of the species or just nuts.

4 threads for 1 topic is excessive.
I can't believe that thing tore up a pleco that big that easily. I say that thing wins, it isn't killing to get food, it's killing to kill. either that or guppy's fish are just holding there own little fight club. haha!
