Purple tang is a very close second

In years past, I had a 55 gallon with a tomato clownfish and a purple dottyback in it.
They were the _only_ fish in it.
No matter how many I tried to introduce.
And the dottyback hid.
All the time.
Unless he was rushing out to help the tomato kill the newcomer . . .

He's really strange at his tactics. Unless it's normal. He darts at his victims and "like" headbutting them, but not gently. I'm assuming he is causing internal damage to the fish. I see another green chromis he is harassing, but it's smart and avoids his vision.
Also forgot about his last victim. Or at least I suspect him. I had a good sized blue / red fairy wrasse. About 5 times the size of him. Found him on the floor when I came home.
The Female Clownfish is the boss of the tank. Although the Neon Dottyback doesn't take any garbage from her. Lucky The Dottyback doesn't get to be 6 inches long. A lot of fish would be in trouble in a lot of aquariums.

I LOVE this thread! Lol so the "boss" in my tank...Nicodemus my beautiful...MIDAS blenny! Sweet community fish my hiney! Nips me on a regular basis, and keeps the 2nd in command...Zeus, my male lyre tail anthia, in check. Their "battles" are quite funny to watch! After that, it is my tomini tang, but he is a marshmallow in comparison! I love all the personalities, no guarantee in life! Haha

I've got 2 bosses running my tank..lolSo I think we all can agree as much as we would love to be the bosses of our tanks we really aren't [emoji30].
Once those fish enter that tank. It is now theirs.
So who has gone into YOUR tank and has made it THEIRS.
For me I have trio.
First in command is "bowser" the yellow tang. If he doesn't like you, it's going to be a rough few weeks.
But if somehow you get on his good graces then you have to deal with "Picasso" the exquisite wrasse. Who doesn't care how old or new you are you will get flashed at least ten times a day lol
And last but not least we have "Pyro" the red fin fairy wrasse. Who has recently started to make his name known in the tank. I think it's because I've added a female solarensis but that's just me lol
These three guys have definitely locked their spots in the tank. And as bad as I want to flush them sometimes I love them.
So I would love to know who runs the roost in all your tanks and do you regret buying them at all?
