hi
was jst wanting to no about any agressive fish apart from oscars, red devils and saratogas

[CubanB]

mate the list is quite long but to name the top 5 (in my opinion)

in no particular order, as every fish is different

1) parachromis DOVII
2) parachromis managuenese JAGUAR
3) cequatia umberiferus UMBEE
4) cichlasoma FESTAE
5) nandopsis tetracanthus CUBAN

[Tucunare]

ireckon youll have to narrow it down abit.
max size
tank conditions
those sorts of things will help get you a decent response rather than every fish thats ever eaten another fish

[Spanky]

well mate i have like a 600 litre tank
its a 6 footer, by 18inch then dont no depth not home to check.
Im after something really agressive jst for the fun of it.

[mosl1]

mate, try a mangrove jack.
i have one about 7cm and they are a real good looking fish (in my opinion) they grow big and are a real agressive fish.
i have him in with a barra and a dovii and i reckon they wont last long. may have to move in the future, the jack even at that small size looks and acts like he wants to fight anything.

[jack]

spangled perch

[Johny]

piranha

[TWiST]

red devils, flowerhorns, and all the other ones that have been said

[nomis]

most Hoplias species far more agro than any cichlids just very hard to get

[joop]

you guys realy think jaguar cichlids are soo tough?

[TWiST]

some are some arent but wolf fish are nasty but as fair as i know you cant get them here (if you can let me know) but if were going to suggest fish that you cant get your hands on legally id say get a snakehead

[dazzabozza]

but if were going to suggest fish that you cant get your hands on legally id say get a snakehead

And before Spanky gets all excited and asks how to source one.... a gentle reminder that it can't be done here as they're noxious.

Daz

[joop]

yes wolfish have been availible once or twice but usually only the smaller red wolfs
snakeheads are meant tto make great pets yes they are noxiose but thiers been a few available in sydney the last few months

[daci]

if you want fun to watch!

tropheus

michael

[TWiST]

tropheus arent in the same league

also if i was going to get a wolf fish i would want the full size one

with the snake heads as daz said they are noxious i have seen them for sale on other fish forums but they need huge tanks when they are full grown



by the way i love bass and i reckon its a shame in this vid but it shows devestation they cause and pretty much explains why they are noxious
