Damn, never noticed that, I just saw someone replied to it so I figured I would too to share my experience
My male blood parrot is insane. He aggressively bites and headbutts the glass if I get to close. He likes to show off his teeth and scratches them against the glass. Yes at least some blood parrots do have teeth. If I put my hand near the water he jumps straight out of the water to bite my hand and arm. During water changes he follows and attacks the syphone. The attacks include intense biting and headbutting and a few tail slaps. If my hand touches the water he chases it out. He has been the leader of the tank with red devils and jack dempseys in the same tank who were a bit larger than him. He now stays with a female convict and a bichir who have bonded with him since he was young so they are the only fish he does not bother. When I got him I thought he was a girl so I named him Rose and still call him that to this day so I guess that could be why he is always so angry lol.
First off anyone who says oscar is nuts. They are all bark. My ‘badass’ oscar who has to be 12-13 inches was sulking after a recent move... badly. The firemouth who she had pestered its entire life saw her weekness and was in the process of murdering her when I came out to check on them. She just lay down like her fate was sealed. Now that he’s gone and another month of sulking passed she’s as fierce as ever... with me, her reflection, 3 female convicts... big baby
To answer the question:
You’ve gotta go with one of the apex predators of Central America. Dovi looks vicious but the umbee has that beak like snout as does my f1 bared Midas, i’ve got to think the umbee has the stronger bite than dovii

The horror stories I hear of murderous fish seem always to be of amphs. Midas or Red Devils and their genetic freak cousins in the flowerhorn family.
Red Texas and rose queen. They destroyed my buttokofri to the point where I had to move him into a different tank and the buttokofri with bigger than them
