I saw a breeding pair of adult convicts at the local fish store (male 6 inches, female 3 inches) chasing and holding off a Texas Blue twice it's size and also an Oscar about twice it's size and believe me those guys wanted nothing to do with that pair of convicts.

That's because texas blues and oscars are even more wussy than convicts. LOL

id put the trimac over the jag... i have two jags that always swim with each other, but the trimac still goes after them... also he seems to take pleasure in the pointless killing but not eating of feeders, as well as targeting random fish in the tank to bully for no particular reason.
as far as most of the other fish on those lists, i havent raised yet, so i couldnt tell you, but have heard thier even worse.

my jag is the boss of my tank, but my fetae is just evil im taking him out of the big tank so my jd can swim around, i have a peace of slate up against the glass so only the little fish can hide under there, and the little fish are 5" 9"

has anyone considered Boulengerochromis microlepis they get to be about 3' and really cant live with anything even eachother

In my experience with fish, most are aggressive by nature.You may get the biggest cichlids and raise them with other cichlids and they won't respond they way you would think they would.My point is that every fish regardless of size is that they all are aggressive to a degree.And tank size really matter to.

Dovii
Umbee
Managuese
Black Nasty

Some may disagree, but i think that Mbunas are sometimes pound 4 pound some of the most aggressive.
