Hello, folks!
Finally, I got a pic of each of my tank's 4 bosses. I did it last night and it was a difficult task to me. Don't expect great photos as the ones of Pittbull or Razzo!
Now I will say something about each of these 4 guys. I will mention them in the same order as they are on the pics below:
Boss #1- This is the rusty that I named Hateful Digger. He is the whole tank's Big Chief and the largest fish in the tank (4.5"). When I read some time ago that rusty cichlids don't dig too much, I concluded that this guy hasn't read those books.
Boss #2- This is the second in command; the albino socolofi named Mansion Owner. I put him this name because his home is the whole rock pile on the left side of the tank. Anyone who dares to enter or to even get too close to his home, will be chased and taken out immediately.
Boss #3- The third in command is the older maingano that I bought as my little centerpiece a few months ago. I named him Mr. Smarty Pants due to how he climbed so fast in the hierarchy. He did it almost since the very beginning, helping Boss #1 to chase all the other rusties. This way, he became friend of the tank's Big Chief. Smart guy, isn't he?
Boss #4- This is the already famous dominant yellow lab that I have named Fry Shredder. He is truly a murderer of small fishes, snails and he even bites my arm with such a fury, that I have jumped while cleaning the tank. When he does that to me, I have tried to punch his behind; but I have failed all the times...I'm going to kill him one of these days!
Did you like the 4 bosses' story? Now their pics; I hope you like them...they are beautiful fishes after all!!!
