What is your most stubborn fish?

[Justnotrook]

For me, I have a female bristlenose pleco that is an absolute Karen. Hogs all the algae wafers, uses her tail to kick mop sand to repel other fish, absolutely hates everything in the tank, etc. What’s your most stubborn fish?

The smallest of my Tinfoil Barbs  often acts like a Border Collie.  It will swim alongside one of the other TFBs, with a fins length separating them, herding the other fish around the aquarium for a while before breaking off.  I'm still not sure if this aggression or breeding behavior.

The big male Angelfish. He's as dumb as he is pretty. 😆

My female angelfish for sure,   I call her Queenie because she acts like it.    

She isn't really aggressive or territorial but when someone enters her chill space she slowly moves forward and judges people away, with tiny pushes.

All of my Florida flagfish...harassers and small plant destroyers if the tank gets too active.   Had to banish them to their own tank.  I think guppies and platies make them nervous too, anything fast moving.

Uh Oh, she’s picked her spot, now she’s looking for a boyfriend. I find angels not aggressive unless they’re breeding. But sounds like she’s ready

She has been like this since I got her though basically her spot is where ever she hangs out at the time and has a male friend to hang with. 

Don't see her defending a particular spot.

Yep, I found several plants that they just will not let me keep. Pearl weed is a no-no.

All of my White cloud minnows LOL. They are huge jerks to my snail when I every once in a ahwile try to sink a algae wafer near him. He later starts moving towards it, but only one issue, it is already almost completely gone 😩😅. They destroy it! And are mean to each other when it is feeding time too.

Same here they are little foodies. I usually feed the wcmm first and then my cory's half them immediately go for the cory's sinking pellets. Like excuse me this is not your food.

My swordtails would always pick on my mystery snails so I traded them in. I currently have one fry left with a mystery snail and so far he/she isn't bothering the snail, and I'm hoping this continues into adulthood lol. Otherwise they gotta go because I love watching mystery snails roam around the tank.
