The tank looks great Lisa, congrats !
AFA the wrasses I would consider getting them and any smaller less aggressive fish first and adding the Tangs last. Some Tangs don't tolerate new additions after they establish their territories.

Thanks Cheeks... So, how do I handle it now that I have added the tang?

Thanks Blue_Eyes and Doni for the compliments!

Lisa your Regal Tang appears small and isn't usually aggressive unless you get one like mine that killed four fish...lol But seriously I don't see a problem yet but when you add the Genus Zebrasoma or Acanthurus it's a different story as they can become quite aggressive. AFA the Saifin Tang they'll be fine as juveniles but will get quite large.

No he should be fine mine was an excpetional situation. Regal Tangs are a great fish it really hurt to have to get rid of mine.

Phew... I was getting nervous. He came from someone who had to tear down his system. I really wanted a Hippo (mostly just for their plain goofiness and the fact that it's blue and yellow) and my LFS guy was going to sell me the one from his home tank b/c I was scared of the shipping stress, etc. But, this one came along and seems to be great, so far. He hid for about 2 mins. and then he was out and about. Thanks for all your help! Karma to you!

Awesome looking Hippo.... I love mine!!

lcstorc · 03-01-2007, 09:48 AM

Beautiful hippo. I hope he does well for you.
Can't wait till you get a Sailfin. I love mine. He is almost always out and about. You do know how big they get. Right. Max is 16in. Eventually we both will need to get rid of the fish or upgrade our tanks.

Lynn, LOL... I am COUNTING ON THE UPGRADE... as are you, I'm sure!

Dentoid · 03-01-2007, 03:45 PM

I like peekaboo hippo, he's the bluey'ist. He's like one big Blue Spot!

saltwaterfarm · 03-01-2007, 04:46 PM

I can't wait any longer for a Bluespot! It's makin me crazy... HAVE... TO... GET... BLUE... SPOT! Was gonna order one from Dr.'s F & S... but I think Doni got it...

Not your fault!
You snooze... you lose! I saw it yesterday, and didn't get it. My LFS is trying to get me one. I was leary about ordering online. But, I would order from F&S.
I was going to wait a little while but it's too hard, LOL.
What is that patience saying again????
