Nice and harmonious community, and I wonder who is the boss. I've seen your previous videos and no longer see the Jaguar, Cuban and Green Texas, so were they troublemakers and removed. I am surprised you can keep 3 Bifas together in peace as your community make up has been one male per species. What is the name of the fish with a vertical bar that looks like a black belt.

Thank you. The boss is the Midas and he does it very gently - he just swim towards the one and stops very closely and that enough. The Cuban is there, the others you mentioned were mainly diluted because of the need for free mass (not due to aggression or trouble-making). As far as I understand, I have only one Bifa the rest are hybrid, Hartwegi, Guttulatus and Synspilius. The one with the bars is Cichiasoma Bocourti.
