Assuming fish could have some sort of government. I am wondering which one of your fish would be the mayor in your fish tank. Would they be a good mayor? Or maybe a mayor that wouldn’t be the best.
Who Would Be the Mayor of Your Fish Tank

My Solarensis would be Mayor, Sheriff, HR, and Chief Inspector.
Susceptible to bribes of roe, no doubt.
That would be my Purple Tang. Mayor, King of tank!
Keeps the other fish in check.

My Timor wrasse has quickly become leader of my tank but maybe not a benevolent one. I’m concerned it may become a cruel dictator.

My dominant Mayor , who is definitely on the take, who is constantly moving territory lines for his own gerrymandering purposes, who beats up the meek, who grifts from the rich as well as the pour, who believes the whole county is his own to rule with an Iron Tail - is our Achilles Tang.

100% would be my yellow watchman. Hes been in there since day 1, doesn’t mess with anyone but defends his space and it always seems like he’s the one really in control
Why settle for mayor, but my overgrown yellow damsel would be the fascist dictator!!

My midas blenny’s home is a hole in a rock that’s at mid-level in the middle of my tank. He sees and notices EVERYTHING that goes on—so he would get my vote.

Definitely my turbo snail. He keeps the tank clean and has some sick looking algae on his shell.

I’ve thought of gluing gsp on the shell of one of mine. .
The algae on the shells looks weird .

In our tank, it would be the Sailfin Tang...she keeps all the bullies in check (large tomato clown & sixline wrasse) by chasing & body checking at need though the tail spike hasn't been deployed. The Sailfin oversees all the cleaning & feeding we do along with her deputy, a cleaner wrasse. Both are very demanding of the nori salad bar we provide with the wrasse pulling out mouthfuls for the Sailfin. It's hilarious!

Gladys Kravets, our Midas Blenny, who takes her reef seriously and doesn't like ANY fish or invert around ANY one of her five (5) barnacles throughout the tank.
Poor crabs and snails get the brunt of it since as her flailing around (FBF)s aka Fish Beyatch Fits are all that is needed for the other fish to stay back from the openings for her easy ingress/egress and it is constant throughout the day.
This emerald crab was just performing a little rooftop maintenance and caught all kinds of heck until he moved on to another local.

My Solar Wrasse. He’s very social, always checking things out, friends with everyone in the tank. If I’m in the tank cleaning, he’s there. When I added my one spot foxface and the whitetail bristletooth tang was harassing him - the solar befriended the foxface. That of course was after the Foxface flashed his dorsal at the tang a few times. Now, the foxface follows the Solar everywhere. Maybe he’s the vice mayor.
