The friendliest place on the web for anyone with an interest in aquariums or fish keeping!
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Not sure where you are trying to get at. Usually the intention is to get fish which can interact harmoniously.
 
What I was hoping for was a tank setup where there is a dominant fish that eats first and stops fights....ζ

Welcome to AA
I don't know that such fish exist, you are describing the behaviors of mammals, such as lions.
 
Cichlids can set up a sort of a pecking order like that but a lot of times if you have a fish that is that agressive towards the others they end up killing some of the weaker/more docile ones. Also I would recommend at least a 55gal for Cichlids (well for most africans anyway) you can do it in a 40 but you can't put many in there and it's kinda small.
