thanks for the pics everyone, its great seeing so many cool fish.

mattrox, thanks.. thats the first time anyones tried to guess what he is and the metraclima greshakei albino pic's im finding all over google are exactly the same as him, right down to the light orange tint in the dorsal + tail fin.

the face markings (white lines running between the eyes) are identical, and on mine they become extremely bold and vivid when someone is pissing him off :)

and to think i was sold him as an "assorted peacock" and yet he's a zebra :eek:

This is Charlie, he is without a doubt the boss. He is a one year old Red Top Zebra that is 6" long. He's never been in a fight but no one ever challenges him either, when he says "LEAVE" they go away.
But he's really sweet, he's just so big that no one gives him any grief.
He's also the father of our very first fry.

He is very cool!!!
 
Here's a couple of my bosses, first one is a experiment I'm peforming on stocking mbuna/peacocks. It's a 72B with 60 species close to full size fish. I'm on a work release so daily water are checked along with 30-50% water changes twice per week, want to see what the first breakdown is going to be, wether it's water conditions or aggression behavior. Plus my Yellow Lab named Woody wanted to be seen as well. So hee's sitting very still into of my mbuna tank.

The second bosses tonight are the in famous 14" Oscar pair, started the dance with weekend and they get a weekend bungolo in a private tank for their bi-annual laying of the eggs.

Good luck with your experiment, it's a beautiful set up, Woody is also quite lovely.
But I must say your Oscars are amazing.
