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...

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...

I’m looking at some tangs and Foxface’s. I think a Hippo tang is to big for the tank but what do you think? Are they reef safe? Are they aggressive? Are they hard to feed?
thanks!
