I've got to say that at this moment, my 4" Maculicaudia is a tank terrorist !! He's in my 150 with a 6" jag, 7" melanarus, 4" melanarus, 9" JD. He is the tank boss. Always at mid tank claiming his space. 
Which is the most aggressive SA/CA cichlid in your experience/opinion?

Those are your biggest problems in the future, literally and figuratively. I have an amphilophus that would rush a great white, but my parachromis study their victims before engaging. They are smart, and will usually only fight a battle they can win.
Is aggression also triggered by size of the tank.....the reason I ask is.......I recently picked 2 midevils (8 inches , each) , from a hobbyist , who claimed that they were very aggressive and a real pain to house them in a 4 footer.......I put them in my 8 footer and they are decently behaved
More space is a definite plus, but at the end of the day there are some fish that should be kept by themselves. My Dovii, Jag, or Amph are not community fish, and even in an 8' tank would kill everything, or be killed. All are solo in a 125, 75, and 75.Is aggression also triggered by size of the tank.....the reason I ask is.......I recently picked 2 midevils (8 inches , each) , from a hobbyist , who claimed that they were very aggressive and a real pain to house them in a 4 footer.......I put them in my 8 footer and they are decently behaved

Maybe it was something different about their old tank mates vs their new ones. Or more space and easier to establish territories dunno but glad its working out
I have a 6 Red Terrors in a 4 footer.....with lots of hiding places....and the current sizes of them are in the range of 4 - 5 inches , at what time or what stage , should things go south in terms of fighting and hurting each other
