Who is the ALPHA fish of your tank?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
largest ctenopoma... punks the 3 smaller ones, occasionally snaps at the african butterfly fish, and occasionally chases the african knife fish out of its cave. Also has tried to chase the balas at the beginning but I Think he realized he couldn't catch them.

leaves the poly's completely alone though... i think every fish in the world does that though lol
 
My male jack dempsey rules my 100 gallon hands down. Before that though it was my big tilapia, but he is in solitary confinement now to prevent fish death. :nilly:
 
I have one particular fish rocky the red zebra cichlid that has been in 5 different tanks and in every one he has ruled, he is evil

Though it was real funny to watch supposed evil bad oscars cower in fear of him.

No matter the decor of the tank no matter the size from 55g - 180g he has been by far the meanest fish, yesterday I threw him the recently set up 300g and if he corners the entire tank like he did in the 180g i might just feed him to my red devil

my 1" tiger barb... takes **** from no one, he even nips at the (much) larger tiger barbs
I had 3 tiger barbs for like 2 weeks, and they ate each others fins completely off. Scared me for life.
 
A 4", 12cent rosy red... King of my 100gal turtle tank. This fish survived the turtle tank for 6months. This minnow didn't put up with the turtles and even stole food from the mouths of my turtles... I was impressed, so I put him in my 55gal tank grow tank with two 5" bichir, a 6" peacock eel, and a lot of guppies. This fish pushes the birchirs around and hogs all the food.

I like his style!
