nabokovfan87 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 ME! Kidding 😂 In the family tank it's a red tailed black shark aptly named grace. In my main tank there is a female corydoras that is about 2x the size of everything else in the tank and she's the queen. You can see both here. They had a fun night swimming around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macdaddy36 Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 My tank boss is a young harlequin that bosses around the guppies and chases the other harlequin. The honey gourami, who I thought would be the tank boss always hides in the back. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lots Of Loaches Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) I've got two tank bosses. For the upper part of my tank I have a Pink Tail Chalceus named "Steven" and for the bottom it would be a yo-yo loach named "Shamu". I love them both and neither is overly aggressive, thank goodness. I will say that Shamu respects Steven and stays out of his area unless there are floating pellets available that Steven hasn't eaten.

That loach is awesome! What a fun fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 My tank boss is an albino rainbow shark who’s about an inch off full size. He shares a 75 gallon with a couple of tetras and a breeding colony of wild type guppies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Each tank has their own. guppy tank- Angel the male longfin lemon blue eyed pleco. He swims all through the water column chasing guppies when they try to steal his wafer or his girl Lefty’s wafer. It’s adorable because he is not aggressive about it. Sadly by the time he gets back a different guppy or 10 has already stolen the wafer. Panda cory tank- big momma. She is much larger than my other female pandas. She inspects what I put in the food dish prior to others being allowed to eat. If they sneak in first she chases them out. pygmy cory tank- CPDsare boss all day. Big Daddy is head honcho same with mom n dad pleco tank. The alpha male CPD bosses everyone guppy girl grow out- one girl was born with a v shape spine. She is more mother hen to the babies than boss guppy boy grow out - a little boy got stuck in a pothos planter as a fry and it stunted his growth. He is a half inch big and is The Godfather Boss even when the other boys grow up. It’s adorable. My other tanks are harmonious and no boss exists.

Hannah Parker Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 My community tank is so interesting because it almost has many bosses. At feeding time everyone gets out of the way for my adult golden zebra loach on the bottom and my betta on the top level. I have these 2 ancient cherry barbs that are leftover from downsizing old schools that have died off, and they each guard a little cave in the bottom section of the tank. For a while my platies were all on the same playing field, but since my new addition hi-fin male has become comfortable in the tank, he has established himself as the alpha breeding male of the bunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Spikey Feathers is a very large and in charge Festivum. He knows how glorious he is and cruises his spots in the tank - mid to high swimmer so the other 2 cichlids in there - an electric blue acare and Krobia xinguensis stay out of his way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanked Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 This angel is clearly tank boss. When a new pair of angels were added, he immediately began educating them on the tank hierarchy. He cruises everywhere during the day but spends most of his time on the left side of the tank, with a single gourami in attendance. When the tank goes dark, all of the fish gather on his side of the tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
