Yeah, it's supposed to be one of the all-time meanest fish ever, much unlike the "Jack Dempsey," which is a fish whose demeanor is much less surly than that of many other cichlids.

I am not that knowledgable about cichlid types, but I am surprised to see so few discus and angelfish votes. Since I only own angels now from the cichlid family, they get my first vote. and nothing beats some of the pictures I have seen of discus for beauty.

Unlike many cichlid fans, I get no kick out of watching a big fish eat a feeder goldfish.

So I guess, with limited experience:

1 - angels
2 - discus
3 - something small, like ram
