Blue Hippo Tang $25. Medium Sized. I have two of them that have been in my tank for approx 9 months, so you know they're healthy. No ich, scars, etc.. fat & sassy. No worries about arsenic poisining this way.
Just need to get rid of one of them before they get too big.

I would like one of them. How large are they? Are you getting rid of both of them?

They're approx 3" long. I haven't seen any agression in them toward each other or anything else for that matter, in fact they always swim together.. they still sorta follow the purple tang around. They came in a package deal when I bought someones livestock around 9-10 months ago for $400, because he was relocating overseas. It was the night the meeting was at Mike & Leslie's apartment and I had to leave early to acclimate stuff.

If you wanted both I would sell both, they seem to like each others company, but otherwise I will keep one of them. We're setting up another tank (softies only) in the office and could put one of the tangs in there.

Confession time:
I actually bought <b>another</b> tang last night and know I would probably be pushing it with 4 tangs in a 125. Just don't want to overdo my bioload.

Take that back on the agression: I do remember them being little buttheads to the purple tang when he was first introduced. That lasted a day or two.

Note: Had only one tang for sale unless Scott wanted to buy the other one, which I doubt he does. I will be down to 3 tangs then and will have the other tank setup shortly and will move one of them (probably the purple) to the new tank. I think that would be ok then, I would have 2 tangs in the 125 and one in a 75. I just imagine they produce more waste than my other fish and I am not currently running a refugium on my 125, so don't want to overdo it.

I'm gonna pass anyways... I actually already have a large hippo (4"+), was thinking about adding another one... we're too broke right now, with the cruise next month and all :(

I only want one. I imagine that two would be too many for my tank. I'll get it at the next meeting unless you are planning to come to Mobile any time soon.
