1 One Spot Foxface, 1 Copperband Butterfly Fish, 2 Clowns, 1 Flame Hawkfish, & 1 Yellow Tang
Thats what i thought at first. When i added the yellow tang it was going after the foxface for a little while but stopped and has been just swimming around everyone with an occasional chase. The hippo tang has a spot she likes to sleep and the hawkfish also likes to sit there and they wiggle at eachother for the other to move out of the spot. Other than that everyone else is peaceful. The bullying must be happening at night.
Should i remove the yellow tang and put her into the sump then?
I see a skin irritation and bacterial issue likely from injury or aggression. I see this fish is in quarantine and dont see any tail part missing but rather aggression damage. What meds if any are you using?
Hi everyone. I recently got this Hippo Tang 4 days ago, and yesterday i noticed her bottom fin/belly had a little section missing. Thought maybe she hurt herself in the rockwork or got bit by another fish, so ive been watching her. Today seems to have gotten a little worse & i just want some opinions on what this could be and what i should do/how to treat. Just put her in a quarantine tank. Thanks guys.
We just pulled her out of the tank today, almost happened overnight. No meds, wanted to come here and check first.
Isolation is best and to better pinpoint the aggressor, when hepatus is back in tack, next time you feed, set your cell phone on video mode for about 20 mins and drop a little food and walk away - YOU MUST walk away as they know youre there. Often the aggressor is a bully at feeding time.
I recommend a broad spectrum treatment using seachem Kanaplex
At this point I would just watch the other fish and work on trying to save the hippo. Depending on tank size? you may have trouble adding new fish but I wouldn't banish the yellow if it isn't bothering the other fish now. Adding new fish may be a problem.

It looks brand new, barely cycled,55 or 75gAt this point I would just watch the other fish and work on trying to save the hippo. Depending on tank size? you may have trouble adding new fish but I wouldn't banish the yellow if it isn't bothering the other fish now. Adding new fish may be a problem.
Hopefully those fish are not all in the new tank you were asking about a little while back?
Tank Good enough to keep Blue Tang?!
Hello there everyone! i was wondering if i would be able to keep a blue tang in my 90 gallon aquarium. I want to buy the smallest one i can find to watch it grow. The tanks is 48" x 18.5 x 24. I do plan on getting a 230 gallon aquarium but not for at least 2 years. Any words of wisdom would be...
It’s a 90 gallon. Also came here for advice not to be bashed just looking for some help. If you don’t got it don’t comment please!
Not bashing. This hippo is looks like he's infected. I'm worried about the cbb in the corner with nothing to eat. Bring the cbb to the store with you tomorrow, to surrender, when you go get the hippo some medicine.
