i have heard that they can be very aggressive but have also heard that they are tempermental, i guess it just depends on the fish, but seems to be aggressive by nature.

check this website of some aggressive cichlids:

They're about as tempermental as an umbie. Almost always super nasty. IMO definately a contender for one of the most aggressive cichlids out there. Females are even worse than males (who are already pretty damn violent). THey can get 16 inches, possibly more. Brackish water should be used, as pure freshwater can lead to several health complications in the long run.
