In my community 55 the "sheriff" is my common pleco. The one in my avatar. He/she doesn't put up with anything from anyone. If a fish starts getting too happy, it'll confront it until it stops. lol

Mine are similar switch the pleco with a pearl gourami in one of my discus tanks and when the slighty bigger discus chases the other 3... He breaks it up quite well.
 
The pleco is boss, but all my danios flee my angelfish pair rediculously...

So today I picked up a betta that I felt really bad for. I put him in my 20 gal long with my leopard bushfish, clown loach, paradise fish, 2 stripped raphaels, dehelzi bichir, and a common pleco. Right off the bat the betta starts puffing up its gills and starts chasing around my clown loach and paradise fish. Then all out of the blue, my leopard bushfish just turns around and confronts him. The paradise fish and the clown loach get behind the leopard and turns toward the betta. The bushfish moves towards the betta and then starts chasing him back. Right after that the betta backs down and hasnt started anything again and everyone is alright.

So I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience of a fish stopping an abusive fish and keeping order. Share away.

no sheriffs in my tank, just a villian.... 5.5" serrasalmus marginatus...

If there was a sheriff, he'd eat him...
 
the sheriff in my tank just got demoted. my clown synodontis was bullying the smaller loaches so he and his gang of merry troublemakers are out. going for a more peaceful tank. way too many nipped fins under the previous regime
