I think my Hippo is nipping at my acans!

[jdnumis]

Urrrrrrrr.

Did anyone have experience with this?

Its gotta be him because I see nip marks on a few of my acans.

Should I get some algae sheets for him throughout the day?

And what algae clip works better that the other?

I was thinking about 2 little fishes magnet clip but it had horrible reviews.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thank you,

James

My hippo tang tore up my blue xaina, and now on my new setup I catch him/her nipping on my feather duster to the point it's tube is almost gone :-/
So I wouldn't doubt it.

Ps: I feed my tank about three times a day(frozen,flakes,pellets,algae)ect. :-/

You hit the nail on the head

just threw in a algae sheet!

I wrapped a rubber band around a piece of rubble. Hopefully he starts grazing it and leaves the acans alone.

Crossing Fingers.

Thanks for the suggestions
