Just noticed today my hippo tang that I’ve had for over a year and was quarantined just like all my other fish, has been acting erratic and twitching for a few seconds after acting erratic and then it returns to normal for a little while than back to erratic and twitching, then back to normal...
Well I’ve decided it’s time for a tank reset. Something just isn’t right with the tank and I’m struggling to get corals growing. Ive been in the hobby 25 years and this is the first tank I’ve struggled to get going with corals (fish are fat and happy). There are also a few pests in the tank...
Hey all, just looking for some pointers on this hippo tang I inherited a week ago with a tank purchase. To me it looks a bit beat up, but previous owner didn’t mention any aggression or other when asked. As you can see, the stomach looks to be a bit pinched, and the fins ragged, as well as some...
Paracanthurus hepatus is a fish of many (common) names. It is frequently called Blue Tang, a name that causes some confusion as it shares this moniker with a Caribbean surgeonfish from another genus. It's also called Palette Tang because its pattern looks something like the palette an artist...

Hello everyone!
about a month ago my blue hippo tang began to show abnormal behavior. She was laying on her side at the bottom of the tank on a colony of zoas. I set up a quarantine tank, and moved her in once it was cycled (used pre cycled media and water from her current tank). Water...
Dealing with high nutrients and decide to sell my hippo tang since she's the biggest fish and ears / poops the most. She's fat and healthy and gets along with my yellow and purple tangs. I did catch her nipping on zoas because I been feeding less to lower nutrients.
Asking $60 and Orlando...

Hi All,
Thanks in advance for your time. I've scoured the internet to find a match with the symptoms i see on my hippo tang but unfortunately, with my inexperience, could not 100% ID the infection. I've tried making pictures with him free swimming but this was near impossible so I had to scoop...
Selling 3 Tangs I’ve had for a few years. The Purple Tang I’ve had for 2, Sailfin for 4 and the Blue I believe for 7 when he was smaller than my Blue Chromis. They are in excellent health with no lateral line marks but I’d like to downsize to just one tang(CB Yellow Tang). Sailfin is the biggest...
Hello all. It breaks my heart but am moving and need to find a good home for two large healthy tangs. I bought them as babies and they have grown quite large. No HLLE. On top of my moving I had a tank failure and the fish had to be put into separate 40 gallon breeders. I would like for them to...

Hi everyone!
My hippo tang has been acting strange recently. I’ve had her for close to two years, and I purchased her as a young fish. I have a 75 gallon tank, with pretty mellow fish like clowns and gobies. About two weeks ago, I rearranged the tank and added some arches and a wave maker. I...
I Love my Sailfin (Sully) and Hippo (Jory) I take corals from my other 5 saltwater tanks and they "clean" them up for me :) then I can usually return them nice and clean in about 15 min. Better then adding more chemicals plus they get a treat :) I discovered this by accident when I took all...
