So I had 3 bumble bees in my tank. 2 juveniles probably about a year old and the dad who is about 7 years old. One juvenile would flash black every so often and dad would chase him around till he went back to normal color. Woke up yesterday to a dead bumble bee. Guess dad had enough and took him out. He was also terrorizing rest of the fish, entire tank was hiding all day.

So with a heavy heart I rehomed my boss and picked up a Yellow Jack and a Taiwan Reef (both juveniles) really young as both are just gray. Tank has an entire different feel now. I'm curious who will claim role as the alpha. I've heard several people say how bumble bees are aggressive and now I know why. As much as I miss boss the tank is a lot happier.
