Who's the boss?

[FutureInterest]

Alright, every tank has a fish that's the "boss". Its that one fish that no other fish will mess with and will occasionally exert their authoritay over the other tank mates.

I'm kinda curious what other people's experiences are in this matter. In my tank oddly enough the flame fin tomoni tang has become the "boss". It keeps the wrasses, anthias, and gobies in their place and makes sure the maroons aren't goofing off.

Purple Tang....unless the Maroon decides to come out of it's hole!

Desjardini Sailfin Tang- just becasue of his size. He can keep everyone in check. The blue bird wrasse and tomato clown hold their own though.

my 2 fish live in an equalibrium, no one is the boss. i have a yellow and coral beauty.

i have a watchman: yellow tang

Jin... you already know my answer. The pseudochromis owns my my tank, but happy to say the foxface has held his own and doing good.

my yellow tang lets everyone know he's the made man.

I don't have a "boss" more of an arrangement of fish. Nobody messes with the female clown so she is the closest. My green wrasse rules all the wrasse like fish. My angel bullies most fish in the tank, but now that my hippo has caught her in size the hippo is holding its own.

Yellow Tang

 

[jcusmarine]

purple tang....

I have a pair of Flame Angels in my 70 and the larger of the two is definitely the boss. The Maroon Clown will hold it's own territory but the angel rules the rest of the tank.

Ditto but he's not to bad, My pwder blue and him have a chase fest every once in a while but no harm is ever done. About 10 minutes after I feed he literally harrases anything larger then 3 inches quickly to just kind of "show everyone". He turns super dark and goes into butt kicking mode for a couple minutes then back to normal.

niger trigger in one tank; foxface actually gets a little controlling in 135
