Pick your monster!

[fish_freak]

Im looking for one nasty fish. Something that is going to challenge me all the time and have alot of personality. I have been searching a ton on the net and have narrowed it down to these choices. If you where going to set up a solitary tank and just have one aggresive cichlid what one would go get? Feel free to post your thoughts on any of these fish.

BTW- the reason I am looking for an aggresive monster is that I have done the semi peacful cichlid tank and now I want something really impresive.

Thanks Jeff

I voted for the Haiti cichlid. Remember the shot that was put up from ACA 2002? Increadible fish.

I disagree, the jag is one monster beast, once I get my 125 gallon I'm gonna buy one of those monsters.

my LPS has a haiti on display, it is awsome, but not as agressive as the jag.

What happed to the red devil/midas. That would get my vote, blows the rest out of the water when it comes to personality and attitude.

I agree, my Midas will now try to bite you just for walking by the tank. If he's the owner of the downstairs room, why can't he vacuum once inawhile?
It was so funny yesterday when my husband was messing with the printer(which is near Sweetie's tank). He swam to that end of the tank and started biting! I told my husband if Sweetie's mouth was a knife, he was dead with 2 stabs to the back.

Jaguar, but that's only because the one I had a couple years ago had an impressive pair of clearly visible fangs and an aggressive tendency towards humanoids that would get a little too curious. Little children have fled in terror run from the beast, thinking it was some over-grown goldfish at first...

Beautiful....

Yeah jags are awesome! I think they are extremely beautiful and when they reach about 5 inches and more they truly are a sight to behold. I have a breeding pair of jags with a breeding pair of convicts... It can get quite ugly at times but they all seem to get along pretty well and they all know their place in the tank.

Another oversight and my personal choice...the Umbee.

You named you Midas 'Sweetie?'

Isn't that like naming a piranha 'Nibbles?'
