Hilarious Dominant Female

In my 75 gallon tank I have adult Dayglows with my dominant male at 4" I also have Redfin Piebald juvies, with the largest of the group (a female) at 2". (All fish from Patrick @ gillsnfins). There are 3 rock caves set up, with the biggest of the 3 being the one right in the middle of the tank.

For those of you not familiar with Piebalds, they come one of two ways, either white with a lot of black spotting, or orange with trace black speckling. I have 3 orange females, 2 white/bacl females, and a male of each (my males are smaller than the females atm).

Anyway, the 2nd biggest orange female has claimed the middle cave! She fends off any intruders, even my dominant male Dayglow! It is absolutely hilarious to see her fight off a fish easily more than double her size! Especially considering my dominant male Dayglow is a bit of a nutcase himself, routinely bullying the other 2 male Dayglows of equal size.

Of all fish to be able to hold down such a large cave in that tank...
